Exploring London since 2007
I come across some fascinating London talent from time to time, and I’ve just been alerted to a sophisticated time-lapse video from Davide Roveri. London has been home for David for three years, although his hometown is actually Bologna in Italy (home of Bolognese sauce of course). Davide is a freelance photographer with a particular [...]
Yesterday found me in the very plush surroundings of the Aubin Cinema (beneath Aubin & Wills’ clothing store in Shoreditch) for a screening of Vice Magazine’s ‘Guide To The Olympics’, launched today.
