Borough Market<\/h1>\n

Borough Market is quite popular with tourists now, and where there are tourists there are beggars.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Kerry had a chorizo, rocket & roast piquillo pepper burger. \"\"<\/p>\n

I went for a big German Bratwurst. Look at the size of those things!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Kerry models the Bratwurst .
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

And then tries to hide behind it.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Later that day I went to UFC 85<\/a> and met this couple.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I think this shot is the beginning of the Matt Hughes – Thiago Alves fight. \"\"<\/p>\n

Sleepers<\/h1>\n

Sleeping in public seems to be all the rage at the moment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There is a plimsoll shop close to Brick Lane; I wanted to buy a pair or two for this guy but I couldn’t remember how to get to it.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Other bits<\/h1>\n

Speaking of brick lane, I bought a t-shirt from Sally can’t dance<\/a> in the Old Truman Brewery. They sell shirts in Brick Lane \/ Camden Lock Market if you like their sense of humour.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some artists were making a graffiti impression of an apocalyptic London.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Picnic on a random Sunday with Brandy. As Borough Market is not open on Sundays we got our goods from Spitalfields.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Bumped into James White and had a chat about Segways and security guards.\"\"<\/p>\n

Return of the rangefinder<\/h1>\n

Finally <\/em>my Bessa is back from Japan. Everything has been fixed and the viewfinder is clearer than the day I bought it! I’m so happy to have a film rewind handle again. Thank you Japanese people and Robert White for sending it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In other news, Silverprint has started stocking ADOX black & white film, a roll of which is currently sitting in my Bessa. We’ll see how it comes out.
\n<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Until next time…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
