Cinema in the City of London

I've trekked 20 miles with a 50 pound camera/tripod swinging off my shoulder so shooting with one 30 pounds lighter didn't bother me in the least today. From Buckingham Palace to the Parliament Buildings and Big Ben to the London Tower and Tower Bridge, Sony, that's me, shot faster than John Wayne! And despite the authorization I went through to film a considerable amount of Bobbies and Guards stopped my progress. "Excuse me Miss...What do you think your doing?" When I hear those words I shutter and sigh sadly knowing my shot is ruined. London may be film-friendly for profession photographers but videographers or cinematographers better think again. Still, when the glowing sun broke through the ominous clouds the scenes were almost worth the heartache. I'm staying at the Montague on the Gardens. Old English charm, Victorian furniture, a beautiful walking garden in the mews and a shower that rains from the ceiling! Absolutely beautful. More to blog about when I get myself out of the Cinema. I'm catching Cinema Royale with Daniel Craig in a wee minute!

Hey, Sony,

I'm following your progress with great interest, am way too busy to write anything myself besides html code at the moment, but I'm glad you're there and telling us all about your experiences. I'm glad for all the work but I've turned into an office chair traveler - not an armchair one at least. This is a wonderful blog and I'm happy it's out there for us all to read.
