Look what I just woke up to! I don’t believe it. I’m supposed to be out in London taping the Olympic Torch Relay with a couple producers who just flew in from China. And we will be. In many many layers of clothing, hopping from tea shot to tea shop to keep warm. In case you can’t see it, that’s…
This is London City Hall, with the Tower Bridge over the Thames in the background. I attended a press briefing at City Hall this morning, for the Olympic Torch Relay, which will happen this Sunday through 30 miles of London. I’ve been hired by a firm in HongKong to shoot video of the torch relay for a production they are…

More street shooting, from Trafalgar Square. (I think that any time you can include ‘Trafalgar Square’ in a sentence, the better off you will be in life. It’s so…classy.) I’ve been making a lot of new friends this week while I work. This is one of the more joyful photos I’ve taken. This gentleman is from India (having immigrated 20…
Well, finally, I have something to show you. Shannon and I went into the city on Monday, and I must say: the people watching in London is out of this world. Wow. I didn’t have my camera, and it was killing me. So today, on my own, I went in, visited the British Portrait Gallery, the Photographer’s Gallery (both excellent…
We spent a few hours in London on Sunday, between flights. It was a very quick tour, on a beautiful, sunny, spring day. A few favorites: All photographs and content is Copyright Fritz Liedtke.
