Well, of course I like to photograph cemeteries. And if they are in Scotland and called graveyards and are a lot older than what I am used to seeing and if the day is cold and dreary, then I like it even more.

window washing day
Then there was that one morning in Edinburgh when the window washer – four floors down – reached all the way up and cleaned our windows. I followed the brush from window to window to get The Shot I Wanted. It seemed like a critical moment, somehow.

It just goes to show…something.

station dogs
It seems odd now to think back on the times – which weren’t that long ago – when I just didn’t take pictures of people. I had no interest in it and would actively avoid scenes that were tainted by humans (and/or dogs).
Obviously, I have gotten over that and being in busy urban environments with my camera in hand is actually something that I enjoy a great deal. And a Saturday afternoon at a busy train station was the perfect location to get some images with people in them…
