Julie, looking through your portfolio it struck me that you and I have been to the same places for shots!!! I have an almost exact picture like this one, but from the other side (looking towards the river, from early this Spring) - I'm posting it today for fun! I like the tones of this picture in Winter.
I also have a couple picts of the cork-skrew stairs by the Canal, lots of Parliament (love the cats pict!), and so on. And I am SOOOOO impressed that someone recognized the building in the "life in the city" shot!!! You work in film though, right? I have been trying to figure out what makes b/w work, it's hard. I like the tones of film b/w. Anyway. Thanks for your comment!
