when we are not being blown up or walking because all the trains and buses are suspended we can take a train ride...

you missed me, oh well, next time.
this is the dockland light railway going thru our tiny modern bit on the isle of dogs. i know someone who made a little movie of it in maya, it was really exciting (for me, as an animation nerd and a dlr user)

i took these photos one day on the way back from greenwich, where, as we know, time began. also the smudge on my camera seems to have begun there, but i am scrubbing it daily now with alcohol, and the smudge is nearly gone.

that white building in the first shot is like a robot toothache. and I love the sheening, keening silver slivers in the last shot.

I used to live on the dlr until I was rehoused on the no. 8 bus. Metaphorically speaking only - I am fortunate enough not to be homeless, however i have lost something else......... can't remember what it is.....probably my mind. I love the wavy bendy reflection of the train - cool photo.

Helen: I really like the first shot
