Day 056 - Dad On The Tube

Best viewed large, on black if you have time :)

My mum and dad have come down to London for two days to visit and to spend a little time with me.

After collecting them off the train at Liverpool Street, we had a go on the Emirates Airline cable car over the river which is great fun. We then caught a Clipper boat and got off at London Bridge for a lovely lunch at Roast, in Borough Market. After good coffee at Monmouth we slowly came back to mine.

On the Underground on the way back, I got this shot of my dad coming down the escalator. Tomorrow i'll attempt a shot of my mum!
Great image!

Really like this - bw is just right for this image. Lots of metallic feel to it. Great lines all around your dad.
February 25th, 2013  
Great shot, works really well in b&w

Oh he looks like an intrepid adventurer - just as well - sounds like you put them through their paces. Mine are nearly 80 - getting them in and out of the car is bad enough ;0)

@boxplayer @abhijit @spair @brav @humphreyhippo @jantan @fueast Thank you very much all. I think he's enjoyed being part of the project. And in a portrait of just him, without my mum - but for all the right reasons :) Might even get a print of this done for their house!
