Dérive by shady grey
June 3rd, 2010 2:46 AMI take pictures a lot. I wouldn't say I'm a photographer, but perhaps it could be fitting to call myself a very amateur one. I took pictures along my walk, which amounted to about an hour's rambling until I found myself all-too familiar territory, in which case I considered the dérive over.
Please note the captions I've added to the photographs.
the path of my wandering

I stuck with the semi-main roads. Had I been sobre, or had I looked at a map, I probably would have tried using the smaller roads to get to where I wound up at.

The plaza was rather random. I was hoping I could keep going down it, but it dead-ended. Disappointing, but interesting all the same.

I was playing around with my camera, and managed to set it to Evil, apparently. St Paul's looks haunted.

Much of the area around St Paul's was burned to the ground during the blitz in the second World War.

An icon of London. They're really normally filled with a bunch of numbers and flyers for call girls, featuring ridiculously amplified physiques.

As I walked around the roundabout, I walked upon the slanted bit. After a while, it became rather easy.

I managed to catch this shot when all the blinky lights where off. It makes it look more deserted.

I had thought of submitting this for the 'Art under the influence' task, but I realised I had no photos of me drinking the three pints I had at the meet.
Thus, I was rather lacking in evidence on that end.
Lovely captions. I especially like the photo you got with the blinking lights all off.
Thank you. I mean to upload them onto my Flickr account in their proper sizes at some point. I took loads more. When I get drunk I get really clicky with the camera.
"I was playing around with my camera, and managed to set it to Evil, apparently."
More cameras should have this setting.
I believe that happens when you set it on live mode, but backwards.
Combining tasks - Dérivé under the influence? :]
