It’s impossible to miss this kiosk. A bright yellow box parked outside Spitalfields Market, looking like it had been teleported in from a 1960s sci-fi film set. This is a K67 kiosk. It’s a modular street unit designed by Slovenian architect Saša Mächtig in 1966 and one of the most successful pieces of street furniture…

I’m not sure what was so engrossing on that phone but I suspect it was a review of images, especially outside the Bank of England in London and those enormous Portland stone columns. A perfect place for a dramatic photoshoot.

Look up and notice that 160 years of history are stacked vertically in the same sightline in London. At the bottom of the frame is the ornate ironwork crest of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway, dated 1864, sitting on its stone parapet like it’s been there forever (because it basically has). And rising directly…

This is what I love about shooting London with a telephoto lens. You compress the layers of the city together and suddenly the relationship between people and architecture becomes absurd.

Just after we walked across Millenium Bridge in London I came across these two people watching something behind me. I think it may have been two women who had a couple of dogs with them. An interesting pair. I couldn’t resist making a candid photo of the moment.

The Dunnes Stores on St. Patrick’s Street, Cork was only a muddy construction site in March 2008. Only the distinctive yellow front of the building remained at this time.

I love when I spot something like this happening on the street. It happened near the London Eye where there’s a novelty photo booth shaped like a bus. Two kids were at the back, with one pointing at the wheels, and then they go and spin the wheels!

Every photographer who visits London takes a shot of Piccadilly Circus. It’s practically a rite of passage. The neon screens, the crowds, and the Eros statue somewhere off to the side are iconic. So is the famous UNDERGROUND branding seen all over the city so I wanted to get a mix of the two in…

The audience at Covent Garden really appreciated this knife juggler. He’d just been throwing knifes in the air above the body of a willing volunteer. I’m not sure if I’d have volunteered!

This is what Chinatown in London looks like on a Saturday evening in July. A sea of tourists as far as the eye can see, which isn’t very far unless you’re tall.

Chinatown was our last destination in London last year, but I think from the photo it’s obvious where we were. Lanterns and the T-shirt this woman was wearing make that clear!
