Sex and crime, social gap and fashion, working class and upper class, clash of civilizations and multi cultural harmony – I was an alien, visiting London a decade ago; actually I bought a cheap dia and negative scanner and explored an old shoe box from 1997 – maybe one of my 18 photos below can make you smile – tell me: what would be your favorite?

I Love those colorful taxi cars
shot by my
wife Barbara:
Love that 2nd picture and the simple but great one of Borderline sign…
cool taxis!
shot by my
wife Barbara:
Underground music does it for me.
Very well captured…
Can’t pick a favorite, they are all awesome!
Small talk. Horses. Love them
.
Straight up the taxis were my favourite, then I saw the comments and a couple of others thought the same.
Hope it is great minds and not fools never differing 
this one is the only one my wife made a large sized print from, hanging on the wall in her bureau …
I love the coloured taxis as well. Seems they are the favourite so far!
These are all very interesting. I would pick 3. It’s mysterious. It makes me wonder
Yes. Absolutely
I like the one with the horses.
I like them all, but No. 2 really catches my eye…
you’ve captured the lively feel of the underground
My favorite is number 7 “Taxi, blocked”. I like portraits, and in this I specially like the sense of happiness that the model expresses. I also like how the taxi and her black wardrobe reflects the light.
my wife Barbara, always kidding me …
compare the same in New York:
Very interesting captures. My favorite is # 1 Underground.
Underground and coloured taxis! All your photos look like they could have been taken yesterday – London is so stylish!
#16, The pizza baker! Always eat where the chefs are happy folks! The food always tastes better there!
What I like about London is the street art…and the store displays — whenever I am in London I get into much trouble because the store displays seems to encourage too much shopping.
Interesting documentation
I prefer the underground shot
Have a pleasant time with people you love
two telephones, and colorful taxis, and the banjos. great collection.
A wonderful variety which all go so well together, therefore difficult for me to pick my favourite . . .
the changing face of London that has changed so much since. I love the subject contrasts and bright, washed hues and my fave is probably ‘mirrored’ because I’m reflective
I like the underground shot and Barbara’s photo.
