15th January 2015

A bright day (I forgot my sunglasses!) in Brick Lane and the surrounding areas of Spitalfields with @NicolaEastwood, @Padlock and @CreamPuff! This is one of a number of new pieces of street art that has appeared in support of the 'Je suis Charlie' campaign for free speech in the wake of the acts of terrorism in Paris. I put a few images together for Demotix… http://www.demotix.com/news/6666602/new-street-art-support-je-suis-charlie-spitalfields-london

Despite a lot of ribbing about my new chocolate diet (see @Padlock's entry for today) I had a great time. Photography can be quite solitary but meeting with friends to discuss the merits of lenses… we all agreed my 24-70mm was the best (stand by for comments below)… is really good fun even though my photo count for the day was about a quarter of what it would be on my own. Curry and beer was excellent and the chocolate truffles even better. Roll on our next meet-up.

(Here are some other images from the day if you have time… https://www.facebook.com/pages/Emma-Durnford-LRPS-Photographer/186301661422523 )
Well seen, Emma. I hope to join you all again in London sometime. It was so much fun.

@catwoman2 That would be great, there are so many more places to explore. @danette It was surprising th amount o new art in support of 'Je suis Charlie' that must only have been created in the last week. @padlock Come on, you know you're jealous of my f/2.8 (chocolates are going well BTW)!!

Fab picture, great sentiment (and I have yet to tackle my chocolates - how's that for willpower?)

@creampuff I am impressed that a woman such as yourself can exercise such self control!! I, on the other hand only have 3 left (although my bag was only a quarter filled unlike yours) ;-)

It was a fun day - lucky @padlock surrounded by all us ladies! Chocolates are fantastic - I wonder if you don't need just a touch more zoom on that lens........ ;0)
