To the 34th floor of The Shard and the Shangri La Hotel where a friend is having a party. A great night but a challenge to get good photos from. I knew that the internal lights of the glass would cause horrible reflections inside, so to try to combat it, I arrived with a piece…

York
In my ongoing project to purge my computer of photos I took in 2014, but did very little with, here are some from a trip to York nearly a year ago. Plenty more on Flickr.
