london with the lens, baby!

We just came back from a one amazing weekend in London. We lived in London for a while in 2001 and everytime we go back we are reminded that it is simply one of the best cities on earth.
We did some fun stuff! Our favourites were:
Meeting up with old friends over some extraordinary food in Ubon. The attention to detail was outstanding.
Hanging out in our favourite cafe in Soho. It’s tiny and almost impossible to get a seat, but frankly, it’s the best coffee we’ve ever had. Anywhere. And we drink a LOT of coffee.
We were blown away by Doris Salcedo’s installation in Tate Modern. I saw her talk on Tate Shorts and love that when this exhibition ends, the ‘crack’ will be filled in, but the place where it was will always remain visible and will form part of the lasting fabric of the Turbine Hall, even as new works enter. Extraordinary.
We marvelled at the early morning sun on the pillars of St Pauls.
We soaked up some Christmas atmosphere.
We loved this dude - who was dancing to a band who were playing at the Frost Fair on the south bank. He was so cool! And had all around him totally captivated with his funky moves. He loved being photographed and we connected through taking his picture. It made our morning.
London rocks!
