The Problem With Being a Photographer in Cambridge

[Said somewhat tongue in cheek] ...
So lately, I have been in a bit of a funk with my photography. You see, while there is a need for "family values" photography in the UK, a need which I originally set out to fulfill in September, the bottom line is that Brits just don't like having their picture taken. So all I am left with are pictures like this...


I know. It's rough.
This morning all of Cambridge was kissed with frost, including Ben's bike seat. It was beautiful.

Even after four months of living in Cambridge I still look like a tourist. But the great thing about NOT being a tourist is that you can get into many places for free...like King's College Chapel. I put my newly repaired 50mm f/1.4 USM to work to try and attempt to capture the beauty which can only be fully experienced by standing in the architectural masterpiece yourself, hearing the organ play, watching the sun streaming through the meticulously crafted stained glass windows.




Happy Tuesday!

Everyday you learn something new...they don't like getting their pictures taken?? I could get my picture taken (and my family) every day if I could. Move to Utah and you can do our pictures anytime :)

Beautiful pictures, Krista. And frankly, I don't care about seeing pictures of anonymous Brits; what I AM longing to see are a few of you yourself! Isn't it time that Jakob has a few photography lessons?!
