Way back in May, I spent just over a week traveling through the UK with Amy and number of her good friends from New York. Admittedly, it was my first time in Europe and I thoroughly enjoyed my brief stint abroad and am looking forward to an eventual return trip.

Every time I shoot for kicks I try to make up an “assignment.” For the first part of the trip, I wanted to shoot at 1/5 of a second as much as possible. Fortunately, there are a ton a great open spaces around London and a vibrant population who’s not shy around big brother (aka just another camera).

For those of you who are curious, I traveled extremely light and packed only a 50mm 1.4 for the whole trip.

For my second self assignment. I wanted to capture a sense of isolation and space. I ended up having to work a little harder than I initially planned since London can be a very crowded city at certain points in the day.
