Do You Feel Lonely?

I had a right mooch day today - another of those, no matter what you try to do nothing quite works out as planned kinda days. I snapped this on Berry St in Liverpool. I don't know what appeared first, the graffiti or the club posters, but I liked them against the crumcbling building facade.

I'm not too happy with the composition, but I was stood on an island in the middle of the road and to get a straighter shot would have meant standing in the middle of pretty heavy traffic. I had to shoot a fair bit just to get a shot without cars and buses blocking my view as it was!

I processed fairly heavily on this one, possibly a reflection of how ambivalent I'm feeling about it right now.

The other shot considered using was a close up of the Chinatown archway, and that can be found over at http://www.framersintent.tumblr.com

I had to battle the rain today, which added to my lack of enthusiasm. It kept spitting down very intermittently, so I kept having to put my camera away and look for shelter. In some ways, I think if it had been full-on rain it would have been better - I could have found a doorway to shoot some candids, but it wasn't to be this time.

Anyway, I'm calling in early for tonight as I have to sort through some stuff. And, um, stuff. General tidying and laundry duties, plus some sifting through photos from various travels and picking out the decent shots.
