the ghosts of victoria and albert (homage to magritte)



Last Friday night, outside the V&A.

It had all been quite an extraordinary day and night, which I'll tell you about soon. I was experimenting with my digital Canon, trying to work out how to do a shot in homage to Magritte, because it was such a Magritte night. And then I saw these two: young lovers, channelling Victoria and Albert. There's something magic about the accident of blurs, don't you agree?

I absolutely love these pictures. The lovebirds are utterly adorable - the girl actually looks like a model; she's gorgeous. And you're right...there is something about blurry pictures that is so intriguing. :)

I like the blurred shot. It gives the moment atmosphere and mood.

i have to disagree with mr. dot about these, having just read your next post.
i love an evening sky, and the blurry photo is just right.

Such a great shot, theres so many stories that could be happening here. One thing I always love is the way headlights blur!
