Man jumping on top of columns
in front of the London Eye.

Wrapping up my unexpectedly wonderful trip to London and Paris. I've had my chance to pay respects to my dear uncle Bill and family and also to rediscover this great city that I can now happily call my second home. I made this picture two days after seeing a most excellent Cartier Bresson exhibit at Somerset House that was so amazingly inspiring. Bresson shunned colour photography but also inspired generations of photographers to go out and see,  feel, capture and express the juxtaposition of  beauty, sadness and movement that is all around us.

Jarmusch on Authenticity

"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them to." - Jim Jarmusch
