An alleyway in Boston, MA. This was another case of me playing around with white balances until I found the look I wanted. I like the feeling of stretching towards freedom that this image gives me.

The edge of 1 Sheldon Square in the morning sun. A nice architectural pattern to start your day.

Buildings around Canada square in London. I took this shot because I liked the feeling of confusion that all the more-or-less identical grids of steel and glass gave; like being lost in a forest of giant, soulless, man-made trees.

1 Kingdom Street, Paddington Central, London.

I had a few minutes to shoot before the start of caffeine. That's probably why I left my camera in portrait mode (and the wrong ISO, incidentally) rather than in the vivid saturation mode I usually use for buildings. Also, I left the white balance on 2500K, hence the blueness. Nevertheless, I like the result, though the left of frame is cluttered.

I only got to take two photos of this building because a security guard wandered up and told me that the buildings were private property and I couldn't photograph them, even though I was on public property.

Now, whilst I'm well aware that that's nonsense, I
decided not to belabour the point (besides, I didn't have a copy of the UK Photographers' Rights document with me) and agreed to move on. I asked him if I could take his photos for the 100 strangers project but he said "If they see me having my photo taken, I'm going to have a problem," so, alas, I just moved on.

First time I've been stopped for photographing anything in London, maybe because it's not a touristy bit thereof.

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
