If any of you often read the London Metro, you may have stumbled across this article, published on Tuesday November the 17th.
The 31-year-old teacher and photographer Simon Bond, initially from my hometown of Winchester in Hampshire, captures his subject matter in the most unique and captivating way. After searching for an original way to express the wonder he felt whilst in the awe of his surroundings, Simon spotted a glass sphere on a market stall, and from there the rest is history.
Simon’s experimental work provides a refreshing, beautiful and magical new technique that explores photography on a deeper level beyond the internal mechanisms of the camera and with fascinating results. It’s pleasing to see photographers like Simon exploring external methods of play with their image making, so much seems to rely on photoshop to make much of the impact.
Please enjoy more of Simon’s work :

Love the thought. Really eye catching stuff. Has anyone seen any different executions at all? This one’s up in my local and I tried to request one if they had any spare but it was a big fat noooooo :( gutted though. Would have been a great addition to my growing poster collection. Anyone know who’s got the account?

Thomas Edison, the man who invented the light bulb, said a lot of very wise and philosophical things in his time. I thought I’d like to share a few..
It’s not that I’ve had 10,000 failed attempts, it’s that I’ve 10,000 ideas.
I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.Many of life’s failures are men who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.Nearly every man who develops an idea works at it up to the point where it looks impossible, and then gets discouraged. That’s not the place to become discouraged.Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.Show me a thoroughly satisfied man, and I will show you a failure.
