Russia comes to London each year on the second Saturday of January. I had thought of writing to Ken Livingstone and asking him to change this to a "Russian Summer Festival" as it is blerrie cold taking photographs at that time of the year.

I have always preferred taking people to scenes and I offer a selection of a few humans I have taken over the last few years.

Most of these were taken with either an Exakta Ihagee 35mm film camera or with a two-and-a-quarter square Mamiya C33
