I was so inspired by the London Street Photography Festival and the Museum of London exhibition that I started a blog to keep track of my bumbling exploration of street photography in London:

I'm still getting started, so I'd love feedback.

Superb exhibition; went along today.

An exceptional collection of both old and modern photography- from the witty and sublime to the more serious and sociological.

The only shame is the poor lighting, which casts large shadows on the work in peak hours, because of the number of people. This renders the small space allocated to the exhibition less than required.

Excellent exhibition, packing in a decent number of photos despite the size of the gallery space allocated to it. It's good fun picking out the old areas of London and seeing how they've changed, but the real beauty is captured in the faces of the people. If I did have a recommendation, it would be to see the exhibition in reverse going from new to old.
