Murals? We've got murals.

Once upon a time, I took a drive on a bitterly cold Christmas Day to London's Old East Village. The goal: street photography. Because this, apparently, felt like an appropriate Christmas Day activity.

It's been a few years since I captured this scene, one of many murals that dot the urban landscape in a city otherwise averse to spontaneous expressions of creative brilliance. So I've had enough time to reflect on the strange stories that lead to some of the photos I take.

I'm good with it. Life's short. There is no "right" time for anything. And if we wait for that mythical "right time" - like maybe the day AFTER Christmas Day - we may not get the shot.

So no more waiting, k? Just grab your camera and go. Or do whatever it is that you've been wanting to do.
