Day 142

Today I went to St. Paul's Cathedral to take some photos. It is such a beautiful church (inside is breathtaking!). My nanny and grandad both used to go there on Sundays when they lived in England and it was neat to think they had been standing in the same place many years ago.



I also went to the Museum of London in an attempt to get out of the pouring rain and ended up staying for about 2.5 seconds; it was rather boring!

My dad gave me a really good idea for the portrait project I'm working on; getting the people who are posing to put on a simple white mask that covers their entire face. The photos will be effective if I'm able to capture some sort of a message, feeling or story delivered by the subject even though their facial features and expressions are hidden. I found a really great white mask and have taken some photos already but it's proving to be a bit of a challenge. A lot more thinking on my part needs to take place!

  1. Wow that cathedral is stunning!! Although I'm not religious, I have a thing for old intricate buildings and sacred ceremonies... strange!!! And really? The museum was boring? Did Alexandra just say that a MUSEUM was boring??? Haha I really can't wait to see your work and for you to take pictures of me!
