The Cat in the big smoke

There’s something delightfully peculiar about finding a cat on a lead. I spotted these two characters taking a break near Camden Town in London. The scene just screamed to be photographed. The smoke caught in the sunlight and the cat’s nonchalant pose, how could I resist?

It’s a candid shot, of course, and as the photo was taken in 2022. I wonder if they were and are still living in London?

I searched and found this TikTok video from later in 2022, so they were still around there in October that year!

In Camden Town: A Young Man’s Reflections

Today’s photo is a snapshot of a young man in his twenties standing pensively in Camden Town, London. He’s wearing a striking green patterned coat, and he leans against a red brick wall with one hand resting gently on a nearby chair.

Looking at this photo, I can’t help but wonder what the young man is thinking about. Perhaps he’s contemplating his future, or maybe he’s lost in thought about his past.

What do you think?

Finding the Next Photo in Camden Town

The bustling streets of Camden Town, London are alive with activity, as a photographer searches for his next subject. Unaware of his own presence in this photo, he scans the crowds for inspiration, his eyes constantly roving in search of that perfect shot. In the background, the North London Line bridge over Chalk Farm Road looms large, its vibrant colours standing out against the blue and white of the sky.
