What happens if you take a picture within a picture?
We went around the City of London, capturing the day-to-day on a disposable camera. Then, after getting the film developed, we revisited each site with a digital camera. It's a fresh take on the City scenery, putting pictures back into pictures, catching moments of time within moments of time. The wraiths of people who've long since moved on haunt park benches. Commuters from the past board buses of now. Passers-by move faster than their legs can carry them.
