SX-70 Polaroid Manipulation, Nelson’s Column, Trafalgar Square
Nelson’s Column in Trafalgar Square, London today. This is a polaroid manipulation – using a nailstick I moved the emulsion of the Polaroid around about 15 minutes after exposure.

On the walk to work
In January 2003 we were treated to a rare sight in London: worthwhile amounts of snow! On the way to work I snapped a black cab etc. It’s taken me this long to scan in the film.
My SX-70 bridge polarioid thingie has been getting lots of visitors – there will be more of these types of photos posted here soon.

Let’s hope this season will be as crisp and snow white as it was earlier this year!

Gay Lego men
Are these Lego men gay, or is just my personal opinion? They are air stewards (male flight attendants), after all. These guys live on top of my computer along with a collapsed Kermit and a plastic hippopotamus which they sit on. It’s kind of like a Life of Pi up there.
What is London Photos
London Photos was created by me, Kim Gilmour, in September 2003.
I am originally from Sydney, Australia. I have been living in London since mid 2000.
Launched in September 2003, London Photos is a non-profit site.
London Photos is committed to posting at least a couple of images a week and in typical weblogging style allows visitors to comment or trackback entries.
All images on this site are copyright Kim Gilmour.
Millennium Bridge… Van Gogh-like?
This is a photo of the London Millennium Bridge taken with an ancient Polaroid SX-70 camera bought for L7 off eBay. The emulsion stays soft for hours after taking a photo and can be manipulated using sticks or anything sharp that you can find lying around. So there is no Photoshop in this picture.

Tempeh Burgers
Tempeh- fermented soy – is a vitamin rich source of food and our creation was inspired by the tempeh ruebens at the Organic Harvest Cafe in New York City. You will need a slice of tempeh available at health food stores (usually in the freezer!) Click below for the recipe. Recipe by Rob.
At your beck and call
Living TV 10th birthday party, Pacha, 4 September 2003. (Featuring Bananarama and about six rejects from Big Brother 3 who guzzled down Bacardi Breezers like their 15 minutes of fame was gonna expire any minute, or something.)
A place where we could take the piss out of people by taking photos of them.
