    Didache and Robusto get together

    Hi all - this afternoon I got together with Robusto (one of our newer members) for a few hours for a shoot in London. The first place we went was an underpass which some of you might remember I photographed in May following a festival of urban art. Sadly, most of the wonderful art painted then has long been painted over, most of it with nothing like the class of the original. Even so, there was some nice work to be seen too. Just three images from me:

    The first is Martyn (Robusto) along the Thames Walk. The other two are from the better urban/grafitti art we found.

    Cheers
    Mike

    I have to admit that every time I see "Robusto" I think about cigars.

    Re: Didache and Robusto get together

    HI all - just three more from me, from my shoot in the grafitti underpass with Robusto. The last one is very noisy - it's a shame as I thought there might be some merit in it when I took it - the light was just too dim though.

    Cheers
    Mike

    Great stuff! Looks like a fun day out Been looking around for street art in Copenhagen but not seen anything remotely close to what you get in London...

    Mike, let me know if you're ever in Copenhagen! Maybe in 2012 for the Cycling world Champs on my home "turf"....
