london by signs and numbers

oh i love this city! even when it's gray and windy. shooting these was the perfect stress buster for me today... any other recipes? i'm going to need quite a few over the coming weeks. my jaw is currently locked and i can't eat properly. won't even bother going to the doctors as i know what it is... hope you're having better times :)
squared circle pool - another source of stress relief and another distraction, of course...

I love your London Letters! Mmm, if you need cheering up watch the Flight of the Conchords on youtube. The Issues one is classic. Better still, watch the movie Shark vs Eagle. It is from New Zealand and you can only feel better after it - promise!!

your photos of london are some of my favorite posts. they remind me to pay more attention to my surroundings. a friend of mine once taught me to ignore the foreground in photos and to focus on the background, because that's where the interesting stuff is happening. your photos inspire me in a similar way. you have such a way with finding unexpected and interesting details that would just fade into the background for other people.

as for the stress, take it one step at a time. breathe deeply and repeat. you'll get there. take care of yourself first. how locked is that jaw? can you manage an oreo at least?

I've had problems with my jaw, too...mostly soreness (TMJ) but it did lock up a bit on me a while back...freaked me out! It's brought on by stress...Feel better soon! And relax!!! :)

lo siento, no puedo ayudarte mucho... cuando estoy estresada, lo que me ayuda es caminar por la playa o sentarme en el coche con música pero sin ir a ninguna parte, hasta que me siento ridícula... :)
Espero que poco a poco te vaya mejor... :)
