an icepick through the keyhole

Via Boingboing:

Alexey Titarenko's "City of Shadows" is a series of haunting, gorgeous long-exposure shots of street-scenes in St Petersburg, Russia. The long exposure-times turn the people in the shots into ghosts and suggestions of motion.

Why do I have this feeling that these are going to be e-mail forwarded as actual ghost photography at some point?

The Regent Street Apple Centre to be exact, leeching off the free wi-fi.

Still in London — been doing a lot of walking, and man, are my dogs tired. London is February is actually colder than I remember it, and the sky remains the colour of a television set tuned to a dead channel — something to be said for consistency. Don't get me wrong. I'm loving the city, as always. I'll talk more about my wanderings (which is really going over old ground to me, but may be of some small interest to posterity) when I get back.

Anyway, the last of the 1812Tones photographs are up on Flickr, for those interested. 'Twas a con, good like any other, and I've been to enough Sutton-run cons to know what to expect. It's always nice to see family, especially the chosen variety.

Will be having dinner with telynor and Co. shortly. See y'all later.
