Too often we focus on the imaginary characters of a production - and not on the people that make it all possible. For over 25 years I have been an ardent fan of the television series 'Doctor Who'. Between his regenerations, his varied companions, his choice in clothing genre's, plus the amazing evolution of the... Continue Reading →
Hidden in Plain View
One of the best points of having 'Casual Clothes Friday', particularly for me, is being able to hide in plain site. As I particularly like shooting architectural and inner-city photography, it helps to be wearing clothes that are either or both plain and of a tourist appearance. So today I am casually dressed.
