	We live, so we are told, in a post-ideological society. We are addressed by social authority not as subjects who should do their duty, but subjects of pleasures: ‘Realize your true potential,’ ‘Be yourself,’ ‘Lead a satisfying life.’ When you put the glasses on, you see dictatorship in democracy.

Yes. I had a Yashica, so some of photos are little dark. I think I took Churchill from a bus.

Good cameras back in the day. I almost bought one. Do you still have it?

Yes, but not used in many years. I took the bus from hotel to London Bridge and go on one those tour boats. It was nice because everything was lit up, but still too dark to take good photos.

I also went to Regents Park to where they filmed the body scenes in Blow Up.

Ha, my first camera was a Yashica. It was my dad's and he gave it to me mid-70s when he got a new Nikon.

I used the Yashica till I got a brand new Canon Eos in 1987. That with Konica film (best colour absorption) produced great results.

It's insanity gone mad!

Nice captures.
