Some pictures to tide a person over until the next crafty update. I had to bluri-glowify these to make them look a bit groovy, because they're actually low quality snaps from my camera phone (taken on a bus).
I can see St. Paul's; can you see St. Paul's? We took a bus from Oxford Circus (about) all the way to Blackwall DLR station, which is such an excellent ride, if you've manage to score the front seats on the top of the bus. It's a long ride, but welcome if you've been walking around Liberty, etc all day.
I actually took this last Tuesday, on my way back to work from Foyles. It's right near the corner of Oxford Street and TCR/Charing Cross Road. What a great little detail.
I really LOVE what you've done with the photos. Did you do it in Photoshop? Picasa? How?

It's basically just the Dooce Effect. Oh, the limitlessness of Photoshop.

Thank you! Must experiment with that forthwith. It seems incredible now that I used to take photos with a MANUAL camera that I didn't doctor extensively...

The Oxford Street photo looks to me like it should be from the opening sequence of a television show.
"9.11.13.15 Oxford Street" would be a show about a group of young lawyers (what do you call them there, solicitors?) who while performing a seemingly routine pro-bono case become entangled in fascinating and dangerous international political intrigue. There are also plenty of complicated romance dynamics involving spectacularly attractive people. What is it really, a fish market?
