So in Cardiff the girls didn't need jackets, but the guys in Leeds feel the chill a bit more.

Very fitting tribute to 30 years after Elvis, definitely the Elvis look we'd have seen today.

anoraks and proawn cocktail crisps - it's the tale of summer holiday outings. We've got a particularly bad summer as well. Good job there's plenty to do inBritain when it rains.

the Edinburgh festival has started! Great street theatre to be seen, as well as every show imaginable. everyone should go, at least once in their lives. I've been a couple of times, and enjoyed every minute, even if everything I saw wasn't brilliant, quite a lot of stuff was.

The british lack of blue skies turns this wonderful portrait from a washout into a really strong portrait. Sharp, strong, and spot on.

One more irresistible selection from Brighton Pride.

not quite a portrait but another fab selection from Brighton Pride. The bottom halves and the top halves probably tell an entirely different story.

Think it's an old postcard?

Think again, it's the Isle of Wight a couple of weeks ago. The effect of usng indorr lighting (tungsten) balanced film outside - there's a blueish tinge.

A quick trip to the seaside this week, whcih has been in the news after a couple of fires.

I love the british seaside, a little bit of rain and bad weather doesn't deter from the amusement arcades, bingo, crazy golf, fish and chips, and a few sticks of rock.

Cardiff

Cardiff, originally uploaded by David Solomons.

So instead of kids, the photographers asked old ladies to tkae their photo - great job here. What a fantastic looking lady.

can you come with me please

We've seen Danny before on this blog. A couple of guys went to Cardiff last weekend, and whilst looking for street photos to take they were taken in by the police for questioning.

I take a lot of photos of kids, none of htem my own, but all with permission. I'm really not a fan of people taking random "candids" of children, and cna understand why the police are worried. It might seem heavy-handed, but they were let go pretty quickly, and at least it shows the police were paying attention.

Eamon went to Cardif...

This week, we've got quite a few shots from Cardiff. Poor guy in a bunny suit in the town centre. Getting his photo taken might have been the highlight of his day.
