MYLDN 386

All the pictures from this week were taken within minutes of each other as I waited outside Evans for my girlfriend to make a purchase which took like for-eva because there was a whole thing with the till receipt and they had to get the manager who was on the phone and blah di blah di blah…I was instantly bored waiting and then I started to look around and the longer I was there the less bored I got. Its amazing what you can see in London when you stand still.  

I saw people in love, I saw people who hated each other – some were trying to hide it, some not. I saw busy bees and lost souls. Sparks of youth and decrepit old age. I saw every conceivable different type of character from every walk of life, some happy in their skin, some not. When my girlfriend finally emerged I was kind of sad to leave. In London you’re so busy bombing around you don’t realise that the less you move, the more you will observe. I guess I could start loitering outside Evans but that just seems weird but next time I’m stuck somewhere I might just not care. I might even be happy about it.

So you may or may not have gathered that this week’s pictures are from Comic Con which was on at the Excel centre at the weekend. I could lie and say I only went because I was taking my nephew and his friends but I didn’t. I went for me. I am a geek. ComicCon showed me I could be proud to be a geek, that we geeks no longer need to hide, we can stand tall…and dress in spandex if we want to.

There were literally thousands at the event and it was weird to think that everyone there would normally have been on the periphery, the outsider, the nerd…and here they were en masse at the epicentre of their own society…it was their world, their domain, their rules. It was a strangely enriching experience to see all these geeks being able to be themselves without fear of recrimination or excessive violence. Superheroes, Sci-fi and gaming have become the biggest things on the planet so that means that deep down everyone must be a geek…yes, that means you too. You don’t have to be ashamed anymore. Time to get out of the geek closet. Join us! Be Geek! Be Proud!

Me and my camera in someone else’s town, my city break, my Tel Aviv

This building above is actually where we stayed. It was described in air B&b as “almost a beach house” and to be fair, it was near the beach which I guess is what the “almost” was referring to.

I’m sorry sir, I’m afraid I’m going to have to confiscate your crutch. It could be easily used as a weapon and therefore must be commandeered immediately. I appreciate its helping you walk sir but its for everyone’s safety…
