Friday Evening on the Thames

Another night for the traveller, another week survived for the worker, another moment in time for the swans to move with the swells of the water and the wind and the moon’s push and pull. The couple sits by the river, quietly, and I suppose their thoughts are embracing as one, unbeknownst to them. I sit quietly too, the armada of muted clouds hang above the low sky, an angel body pops out to me. A perfect Friday evening on the Thames.

The swans, the canoers, the lovers, the saxophonist, the angle in the sky...

Beautiful things everywhere, captured on film

The Londoners off to work, the painters down an alley in Paris, the old ladies catching up over food, the fish and the lemons and the ornate door knocker,, the angels of Père Lachaise cemetery…

Walking with my film camera thrown over my shoulder, I saw both the city of London and Paris through my lens. Looking for those subtle moments or happenings around me to capture and remember forever.

There’s so much happening all the time, and in every thing and every one, we can find beauty. Even as mundane as the endless pairs of legs, like captured above.
