Cambridge is a lovely place if you like shopping or just walking about. I prefer to just walk about. I could spend hours photographing images and blowing through film without a problem. When there aren't enough people to photograph, my son is always happy to plop down and give me a shot.

I have found that Cambridge can get quite busy on weekends, especially during the holiday period. I happened to take this photograph at a time when the city was less busy. The image didn't come out as I had imagined it in my mind. The sky came out without detail, and the bikes on the right were to be the main focal point. However, I still like the image as it looks like a photograph that was captured in the 1800s, before the advent of Photoshop and colored filters.

The image below probably would have just remained on the hard-drive if it weren’t for the little girl in the bottom right-hand corner, staring into my lens with the most curious of eyes. Thinking back to when I captured this shot, I remember the girl being there in the corner, but I had no idea she was actually in the picture, nor did I realize her presence in the photograph would make the image.
