In June, I posted a total of 56 photos to Flickr; perfectly divided into 28 DSLR and 28 iPhone images. So many to choose from.
Beginning with the iPhone, I am torn between these images – to see them large click through
The man I used to be
Taipei
Empowerment
Not only trees need to cheer the fuck up
The image I find myself looking at most is Empowerment. I remember I was on my way back to my hotel in Taipei when I came upon this gentleman who was standing still as he read a notice on the closed shutters of a shop. I was struck by his pose and rigidity and the shadow he cast on the shutters. There is something about that image which quietens me and sets me daydreaming.

Of the 28 DSLR images, again it is hard to make a choice between these images – to see them large click through
Taipei
I sort of want you to stay
Seoul
What is left is only leaving
because of the times when the last thing you say is the last thing I hear
Nunca sea la ultima, sino la penultima
In the end, the image I am most drawn to is I sort of want you to stay. This was taken in Seoul. With camera ready I was walking around on a cold early spring evening when I walked past this entrance to a bar. I had passed when I realised that the girl on the phone would make a nice shot. Without time to get the settings right I shot a few frames. As soon as I got the first one, she changed her pose and the scene changed. This photo has been my most popular on Flickr this past year.

I love all these moments
Thank you so much, Victor. I appreciate it a lot.
I think it’s interesting that you didn’t get the camera set up before taking that image of the girl on the phone in the hall. Better to be lucky than good. Of course, you make all kind of luck for yourself just be being “ready” all the time.
July was a great iPhone month for you. There are some really good images there.
Didnt have time to set it up.
