Victorian London as seen through the lens of John Thomson.
During 1877 and 1878 the Scottish photographer, John Thomson, and Adolphe Smith, a socialist journalist, combined in a project to record the street life of the poor of London. Their efforts were published in monthly parts as Street Life in London, and were an early example of social and documentary photojournalism.
Mush-Fakers were itinerant umbrella makers and repairers. Crawlers were described by Adolphe Smith as being old women reduced by vice and poverty to that degree of wretchedness which destroys even the energy to beg”.
The music is by Kevin MacLeod and is called Passing Time.

CANARY WHARF, LONDON, SKYSCRAPERS IN LONDON, FINANCIAL DISTRICT OF LONDON, WALKING AROUND LONDON
CANARY WHARF, LONDON, WALKING AROUND CANARY WHARF LONDON, Canary Wharf is a busy financial area filled with skyscrapers like the glittering One Canada Square. Canada Square Park hosts summer concerts and a winter ice-skating rink, while the Museum of London Docklands draws families with model ships and hands-on displays. Casual cafes bustle during the day and, come evening, post-work crowds gather in stylish wine bars and pubs. Ferries called Thames Clippers ply the river. Canary Wharf is a commercial estate on the Isle of Dogs in London, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It is one of the main financial centres of the United Kingdom, along with the City of London, and contains many of Europe's tallest buildings, including the second-tallest in the UK, One Canada Square.[1][2]
Canary Wharf is 97 acres (39 hectares) and contains around 16,000,000 square feet (1,500,000 m2) of office and retail space. It comprises many open areas, including Canada Square, Cabot Square and Westferry Circus. Together with Heron Quays, West India Quay and Wood Wharf, it forms the Canary Wharf Estate. West India Dock Company
From 1802 to the late 1980s, the Canary Wharf Estate was a part of Millwall, Limehouse and Poplar and was one of the busiest docks in the world. After the 1960s, the port industry began to decline, leading to all the docks being closed by 1980.[3][4] West India Docks was primarily developed by Robert Milligan (c. 1746–1809) who set up the West India Dock Company.
Port of London Authority
West India Dock was by this time owned by the Port of London Authority in 1909. Canary Wharf itself takes its name from No. 32 berth of the West Wood Quay of the Import Dock. This was built in 1936 for Fruit Lines Ltd, a subsidiary of Fred Olsen Lines for the Mediterranean and Canary Islands fruit trade. The Canary islands were so named after the large dogs found there by the Spanish (Gran Canaria from Canine) and as it is located on the Isle of Dogs, the quay and warehouse were given the name Canary Wharf.[5]
London Docklands Development Corporation
After the docks closed in 1980, the British Government adopted policies to stimulate redevelopment of the area, including the creation of the London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) in 1981 and the granting of Urban Enterprise Zone status to the Isle of Dogs in 1982.[4]
The Canary Wharf of today began when Michael von Clemm, former chairman of Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB), came up with the idea to convert Canary Wharf into a back office. Further discussions with G Ware Travelstead led to proposals for a new business district and included the LDDC developing a cheap light metro scheme, called the Docklands Light Railway to make use a large amount of redundant railway infrastructure and to improve access.
The project was sold to the Canadian company Olympia & York[6] and construction began in 1988, master-planned by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill with Yorke Rosenberg Mardall as their UK advisors, and subsequently by Koetter Kim. The first buildings were completed in 1991, including 1 Canada Square, which became the UK's tallest building at the time and a symbol of the regeneration of Docklands. By the time it opened, the London commercial property market had collapsed, and Olympia and York Canary Wharf Limited filed for bankruptcy in May 1992.
Initially, the City of London saw Canary Wharf as an existential threat. It modified its planning laws to expand the provision of new offices in the City of London, for example, creating offices above railway stations (Blackfriars) and roads (Alban Gate). The resulting oversupply of office space contributed to the failure of the Canary Wharf project.
Canary Wharf Group
In Oct. 1995, an international consortium that included investors such as Alwaleed, bought control for $1.2 billion. Paul Reichmann was named chairman, and Canary Wharf went public in 1999.[7] The new company was called Canary Wharf Limited, and later became Canary Wharf Group.
In 1997, some residents living on the Isle of Dogs launched a lawsuit against Canary Wharf Ltd for private nuisance because the tower interfered with TV signals. The residents lost the case.[8]
Recovery in the property market generally, coupled with continuing demand for large floorplate Grade A office space, slowly improved the level of interest. A critical event in the recovery was the much-delayed start of work on the Jubilee Line Extension, which the government wanted ready for the Millennium celebrations.
In March 2004, Canary Wharf Group plc. was taken over by a consortium of investors, backed by its largest shareholder Glick Family Investments[9] and led by Morgan Stanley using a vehicle named Songbird Estates

One year ago today, we had a last minute trip to London UK to pick up one of our RED Digital Cinema camera from service and maintenance. Once we’ve got the camera, we went out for some testing and ended up filming this awesome shots. As Edna Ferber said, ‘Christmas isn't a season. It's a feeling', and we felt that at every corner. This video isn’t only a sweet memory about the Christmas lights and decorations, it’s also about the wonder and happiness this trip has brought to us. We wish that watching this will bring a smile on your face and don't forget to share it.
Merry Christmas!

London Skyscrapers
Since the financial crisis of 2007 the funding for the construction of skyscrapers comes almost exclusively from overseas. As a result, these foreign investors play an important role shaping the skyline of London.
In times of crisis metropolises like London need investments and politicians tend to approve controversial building projects, sometimes reversing the vetoes of city councils and disregarding the advice of urban planners and heritage institutions. The project aims at raising awareness of the Londoner's role in deciding what their city is going to look like in future.
The concept is to project the pictures on the ceiling of the exposition room, obtaining the effect as if the structures were leaning over the visitors.
In times of economic booms the skyscrapers represent wealth, financial and political importance of the city. In times of crisis, they are still silently present, minaciously looming over the pedestrians.
Through the photographic lens, the immense structures, that seem rigid and linear at first sight, have great potential to express their uncanny and intrusive character, playing with the spectator.
This project been created in collaboration with MACD students Tianli Liu, Wilfrid Depauw and David Crags, PhD Candidate at King's College.

NOTE: I recently noticed this video had been rendered at the wrong frame-rate, meaning it looked jerky in playback. So, I have redone it and uploaded again. Unfortunately for some, the highly controversal music remains, but at least it plays smoother!
A different format, creating different views of familiar subjects.
This is the first of three vlogs from this shoot, each giving advice on panoramic photography.

Britain Through A Lens: The Documentary Film Mob Part 1
Britain Through A Lens: The Documentary Film Mob
The unlikely story of how, between 1929 and 1945, a group of tweed-wearing radicals and pin-striped bureaucrats created the most influential movement in the history of British film. They were the British Documentary Movement and they gave Britons a taste for watching films about real life.
They were an odd bunch, as one wit among them later admitted. A documentary director must be a gentleman... and a socialist. They were inspired by a big idea - that films about real life would change the world. That, if people of all backgrounds saw each other on screen - as they really were - they would get to know and respect each other more. As John Grierson, the former street preacher who founded the Movement said: Documentary outlines the patterns of interdependence.
The Documentary Film Mob assembles a collection of captivating film portraits of Britain, during the economic crisis of the 1930s and the Second World War. Featuring classic documentaries about slums and coal mines, about potters and posties, about the bombers and the Blitz, the programme reveals the fascinating story of what was also going on behind the camera. Of how the documentary was born and became part of British culture.
