“CHURCHILL DEFIANCE” ON THE NATIONAL GALLERY FLOOR — Image sent by Stefano Gargano

Filed under: PHOTOGRAPHY — tmooresr @ 6:30 am

This amazing mosaic on the floor of the National Gallery shows Winston Churchill facing “evil” (Biblical references galore)  and protecting Britain–standing before the White Cliffs of Dover.  Really, quite incredible.  I love Churchill’s jump suit and helmet

LONDON CONNECTION INTRODUCES “GEORGE DANIELL” — OUR NEW PROPERTY PHOTOGRAPHER

Filed under: PHOTOGRAPHY,The London Team — tmooresr @ 7:25 pm

I love a photograph of a photographer taken while in the rain.  Meet GEORGE DANIEL!

Screen Shot 2013-03-15 at 6.19.03 AM

THE LONDON CONNECTION has had the services of an outstanding photographer, Mr. Ian Churchill, who has expanded his own business;  we are really thrilled about his success.  So, our company  had to search for a new property photographer.  Mr. Aldo d’Ponte from ARBITRAGE GROUP suggested a young photographer named GEORGE DANIELL whom he uses for his real estate promotions. The photographer came to meet with Cristina and to photograph our new property on BEDFORD STREET.  We were pleased with these recent photographs which you can see on the Internet www.londonconnection.com, but we were stunned that George is so young.  His photographs were just what we needed, so we asked him to photograph another new flat, “THE HAT FACTORY ON OXFORD STREET,” and we were again really pleased.  No airs or graces;  just hard work!

SO, let me introduce you to MR GEORGE DANIELL

Email:  gdaniell87@gmail.com

Telephone:  07977540877

If you are needing the work of an eager young photographer who is just beginning his business, give George a call.  He is great to work with, and he is eager for the work!  I really enjoy supporting young talent, and I am pleased our friend  Aldo introduced us to George.

QUEEN VICTORIA AND HER FAMILY: AN 1852 IMAGE WHICH THE YOUNG QUEEN HATED AND TRIED TO DESTROY

Filed under: PHOTO SHARING,PHOTOGRAPHY — tmooresr @ 8:09 pm

Luckily, two VERSIONS of this important early 1852 photograph survive.  When the Queen saw one of the copies, she rubbed out her face.  She rarely looked at the camera her entire life, yet at times the photographer captured an enchanting image of one of the most enigmatic personalities of the 19th century.  Here are the two images–even the one the Queen herself defaced!

WILLIAM DOWNEY’S VICTORIAN PORTRAITS: THE CABINET PORTRAITS ***QUEEN VICTORIA’S PHOTOGRAPHER***

Filed under: PHOTOGRAPHY — tmooresr @ 10:14 pm

I have known many of these photographs for years, but I paid no attention to the photographer.  This evening, I have been reading a book I found in my father’s library about William Downey, LONDON’S FIRST PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDIO-1855.  I am fascinated.  Downey was born in 1829, ten years before the invention of PHOTOGRAPHY.  Look at these images!  Amazing quality.  William Downey was granted a ROYAL WARRANT.

One of Downey’s first photographs.  The quality certainly improves as the years saw great improvement in the photographic processes

HOW MANY OF THESE PORTRAITS CAN YOU IDENTIFY?

VINTAGE LONDON OLYMPICS: 1908

Filed under: OLYMPIC GAMES,PHOTOGRAPHY — tmooresr @ 9:01 pm

Everything is “Olympics” for the next few months, but let’s go back to 1908 when it was a very different story.  Very interesting, and very amusing!
