Over the past couple of months PhotographyBLOG has been focusing more on equipment than on photos, and more specifically my photos. One of the site’s objectives stated on the About page is “to allow me to occasionally post my own photos and work-in-progress”. Taking advantage of the Christmas period, I intend to post one photo a day for the next week or so, and see if I can carry on into the New Year.

I’ve spent most of December literally in the dark, standing freezing in deserted parts of London, looking at brightly coloured public buildings. I blame Bob Geldof, the organiser of the inaugural Brightening Up London event, for dragging me outside when most people are inside watching Eastenders. Actually, I should thank Sir Bob for helping me to avoid that fate! Wellington Arch was the first building to be lit up, and last week the Heart FM radio station added their image to it.
