Subject: [Leica] More London photos
From: Nathan Wajsman <wajsman@webshuttle.ch>

I have added about 30 photos to my London gallery on Photo.Net, taken 
during my many trips over there this year, all using Leica equipment:

http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder.tcl?folder_id=214680

Some of them have previously been posted as PAWs, but most are new.

Also, I have made Canning Town, previously part of my London folder, 
into a separate folder:

http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=257129

I continue to be fascinated by the pub, The Rose of Denmark, which is 
next to the hotel where I usually stay (Holiday Inn Express near Canning 
Town Station). The place is being demolished but very slowly, as the 
progression of photos from February to November shows. I have no idea 
why it has such a draw on me...perhaps because the name of the country 
where I grew up is part of it? But I think it is because I imagine the 
life that once went on here, the pints being downed... Somehow, this pub 
is the metaphor for this somewhat decaying neighbourhood.

Somebody posted a comment on this folder on Photo.Net, "enough already"! 
Nevertheless, I happily submit both folders to any critique that might 
be forthcoming from the LEG/LUG.
