I did exactly 4175 cameraphone web-uploads in 2008. By far the majority are mundane in subject, and mediocre in quality. But every one of them tells a story. Especially if you stare at them hard enough. I didn’t know with which one to close out the year, so I chose the one that sits closest in time to the the middle-most point of the year:
Every picture tells a story if you stare at it hard enough.
(Taken with my cameraphone at almost the exact mid-point of 2008.) Wishing everyone who lands here all the best for the New Year!

Route 79 Reflections on a bus journey home |
 |
| From London: By a British, European, 2nd-Generation Indian. Probably confused - but proud to be them all! Half of my journey to and from work is a 20-30 minute bus ride: London Bus Route 79 - between Alperton in West London and Kingsbury in North West London. I very frequently get pissed-off and frustrated waiting around in the DARK, WET and COLD - waiting for the 79 to turn up. But I have to be eternally grateful for the quality thinking time I get to myself. | ||
Damsel in distress?

Well possibly, but also the guy texting. And the business-people waiting …

Three men and three women wait for a bus. Each one perhaps a descendant of families from
the former British Empire. The men are scattered but the women are clustered; Note how one leans casually on the chair upon which another sits, adjusting the heel of her shoe. The two standing women appear to be quite close together and the man with the valise may be in their party.
These people may be known to each other. But no matter, my eyes are drawn to the lovely
Girl adjusting her heel. This picture tells the story that no matter where a bus , or modern life may lead us the power of a woman’s mystique crosses all cultural lines and is forever. Nice pic !

There is so much going on there, but my eye was drawn to just the one person. There isn’t one bit that isn’t attractive!
