"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life" - Samuel Johnson.
Last Friday, I found myself amused by the old London photos I was browsing in the Selfridges bookstore. I sat beside a shelf and on my lap was a massive book composed of London's historical photos. I love what I saw,read and learned. The reason why I ended up in this place was because my phone decided to die on me halfway through the day. I was so desperate that I had to ask one of the staffs if I can use a power point on sight to quickly charge my phone. Opposite to the charge point was a shelf containing books about London. It was just a beautiful accident that this particular book caught my attention , so I took the book by the shelf and read it while waiting on my phone to charge. People were staring at me while they pass by me but the photos I saw were just amazing that my self consciousness was over taken by the old beauty.
It's been a year now since I moved from the East back to my old place in West. This week, university students are moving to their flats and the thought of that somehow plucks a heart string of mine.I miss the buzz, the fast life and the busyness when I was still in university.I miss the city life. I always thought London was too much for me but now it is a part of me.
I met up with Iyanka who was also my lovely photographer for that day. You can check out his page here. We made our way to the Sky Garden and took some photos there. Afterwards, trekked to a coffee shop and ordered some hot drinks which was just perfect for a rainy Friday. Hopefully I can do more shoots with him in the future.
There you have it folks! You might wanna add London to your bucket list and Im telling you, you will not regret it. Thanks for reading!
