Okay back to square one! No more images. All the stuff I got today weren't good when I was processing them. This is what I've got left from my trip to the river near my house two days ago. Oh well it will have to do. I'm hoping to get more material on my trip to Brick Lane with Nkemo and hopefully Asiko will be joining us too.
This shot is more ironic in the context of humour than anything else, can you see why?
Post Processing: Black and white, grain in Picasa, vignetting in Photoshop
On another note, have you ever sent an eCard from my Blog before? Maybe now is a good time to. Use the image, send you feelings, emotions all that. Try it out!

Would make for a cheeky ad.. Me likey. Nice one Jide!!
Jide Alakija: You got it. That's the irony. Thanks Mulberry.
Did you just call out to them before taking the shot? Wondering what makes them turn back, however the timing is perfect and i too go with the grains .. they look cool.
Jide Alakija: No, they were just curious as to what I was photographing. Remember a man kneeling down and photographing a pole is weird, it's a good technique that Skee and I use to take photographs of candids, point in the direction of an object, they'll look at you.
This is gorgeous! Love the grain and the movement of the people. This picture could have been taken in Germany, because we have signs for about everything you can imagine ;-).
Jide Alakija: That's so true. I used to date a German girl once and on my biweekly visits I learnt more German from the signs than anything else.
Really love this one.I would write a longer comment but been very busy with the surprises and updates to my blog :-P
Jide Alakija: I totally understand. I have about 40 blogs I visit daily (yours included) and it's hard enough leaving comments all the time. Thanks for the effort.
I like this shot, Jide. I cant's say I love it, but I very much appreciate the style and approach. The two subjects looking back at us, the integration of the sign, and the plane in the sky are all very intresting elements. I guess I'm missing the humor, but it wouldn't be the first time.
