Over the last 12 months I have slowly started to add some new London projects to the site. Action or Extinction is another London bus project to complement An Elevated View. A Journey Along the Lea is my third project exploring London’s second river. The Not so Silent Line continues the transport theme but in Paris.
Transforming Digital Projects into Photo Books
Over the last few years I have been exploring how to translate some of my projects into book form, here are some examples
What I see from the London bus
I’ve been continuing to explore London streets from the viewpoint of the bus – what started as a bit of a distraction from my occassional commutes to west central london from my north london home has grown. I’ve been taking other routes and watching the London landscape pass by. Some of the more recent images are along Holloway Road
Kings Cross central
Continuing the theme of the London Street Photography festival I took the opportunity to join a guided walk by Alan Dein around the KIngs Cross area. The walk, part of a programme of events planned as part of the festival, took us behind KIngs Cross and St Pancras stations – a vast re-development site.
The London Street Photography Festival
The occasion of the first London Street Photography Festival has acted as a bit of a catalyst to complete a…
New Stolpersteine and London images
Le flaneur spent Christmas 2010 in Dusseldorf enjoying the snow but also exploring the pavements to discover new stolpersteine locations in the city. This most recent journey brings the total number of individual addresses to 43. These new additions build on existing concentrations and introduce new locations to the catalogue. This most recent set of additions has also encouraged a revision of the existing structure of the series, reflecting the organic way the project has grown and evolved over the past two years.
Stolpersteine update
The Düsseldorf Stolpersteine series has grown to encompass Stolpersteine from 24 locations across the city. Our journey takes us from the ancient town centre – the Altstadt, across the Rhine to the upmarket Oberkassel and then southeast to the old working class district of Eller.
Stolpersteine series added
The Düsseldorf Stolpersteine series has now been added to the site, a walk which follows the locations of Stolpersteine in a variety of districts in the city. I first discovered Stolpersteine (stumble stones) in Berlin in the summer of 2006. Further research revealed that the Stolpersteine project is the work of a single German artist – Gunter Demnig and that today more than 13,000 Stopersteine are embedded in streets all over Germany and a growing number of European cities.
