Right before coming to London, I spent time volunteering in León, Nicaragua, as previously blogged. I mentioned to Evan after we arrived in London that I found it easier to find street photography subjects in León because the city is so colorful and lively. In The City, our neighborhood of London, it is often very bland in color. There are a lot of concrete buildings and a ton  of people dressed in suits. I began looking around for inspiration and trying to think of interesting projects to work on while here. Since I spent last year doing a photo a day project with strict themes, such as colors, and since I began to notice red and blue popping out in this concrete world, I decided to make that one of my projects. I have a vision of designing a book where the cover is smaller versions of the photos on the inside featuring red and blue in a pattern to make up the underground sign on the cover. I don’t know if this book will ever be printed, but following are the examples I have found so far. Some of them are obvious, like the buses and the telephone booths, but many are simply a woman’s red hair, a man’s red sock or a man’s blue suit in front of a red door. I have begun seeing things in red and blue all over the city and I enjoy the mix of subjects. It is a simple theme, but I think sometime restrictions make you look harder. Here is a sample of what I have found so far.
