2010 Photo Project – London Bridges

It’s always good to have something to aim for in life. I’m a great believer in setting goals – it’s a fantastic way to keep yourself motivated and interested, especially when it comes to photography (not that I need any motivation – I’d be out there shooting every day if I could, but you know what I mean.)

I’ve read a lot of “Photography 365” articles over the past week or so, where photographers set themselves a goal of taking at least one shot a day. I briefly considered this myself, but ultimately decided against it. The main reason being that I didn’t want to shoot for the sake of it, and flood this site with substandard images. I only upload images that I’m really proud of, which means you may have to wait a few weeks for some new shots, but also (hopefully) means that the quality of this site remains high.

So, I’ve set myself another project – this year, I’ll shoot every major bridge in London, and will publish a book at the end of 2010 which you’ll be able to buy from this site. There are a couple of caveats – the book will contain some shots from last year (I have some decent bridge shots from the last twelve months), and I won’t shootevery single bridge in London. Some of them aren’t particularly interesting to be honest (nope, footbridges are out, thank you very much), but I’ll spend the next 12 months compiling some eye-watering shots of London’s most famous crossings.

Here’s one to get you started – the magnificent Tower Bridge in London:
