There is quite a tradition of street photographers taking pictures of homeless people. And the ethics and debate around this has been discussed in both academic and more casual forums for years.
Some more photos from London. I found this wire ‘cage’ (what else can you call it?) on a walkway next to some railway tracks. Interesting views and even better textures, once you get close up.
I remember a story that my mother used to tell me about her own mother who, due to the necessity of poverty, used to wander the streets of London’s East End* looking for money that had been dropped on the ground. Apparently she often got lucky (if lucky is the right word).

Following on from the geometry (or chaos) of everyday life, here is another image. This time from London.
It’s too hot to think straight here, so here is some accidental street art.
I’ve been a bit snobbish about point and shoot compact film cameras, in the past. I think that it stems from using the horrible plasticky things years ago for holiday snaps and getting very ordinary results. But, actually, I’ve been appreciating them a little bit more recently.
So, because I clearly have nothing better to do (or rather, because I am trying to avoid doing all those things I should be doing), I decided to try another extremely unscientific lens tests. Or, more accurately, I took a few casual shots to finish off the last few shots on a roll of Kodak Portra film.
