London at this time of year is usually cold, wet and generally pretty miserable. To help cheer up us unhappy Londoners, Bob Geldof has come up with the bright idea of projecting images onto some of the capital’s most famous buildings throughout December. The project is called “Brightening Up London” and it started last night at Wellington Arch near Hyde Park Corner. Bob himself was there to switch on the lights.



When I arrived at 6pm there were surprisingly few people present, and even fewer photographers. By 7pm, most of the TV and press people had disappeared and I almost had the place to myself, apart from a few bored security guards. The weather was predictably overcast and drizzly, but I managed to capture the different images that were being projected onto the arch, once the people who were standing by it had disappeared. I’m convinced that they will make great 15x10 inch prints.



Anyway, click on these thumbnails to see how they look at the much smaller size of 600x400 pixels:
