London Bridge Festival - Photo Comp

Entered this comp, part of The London Bridge Festival, recently and was shortlisted. Check out the winning photo and get info on the festival HERE

Here's my photo...


Some wooden boards had been put up around a construction site and the sikh builders were doing some crazy maths in chalk all over them. Reminded me a bit of a Robert Frank type shot from his book The Americans.

I was composing the shot and this super stylish girl walked past, right through the frame. it was set up at 1/60sec but think the blurring and grainy feel of the 1600 Fuji neopan film worked well. Here's the board alone. wish I'd kept it, was like some kind of temporary installation art.

awesome! wish you'd got the Sikh builders next to the hipster too. x
