I do not call myself a photographer, the main reason being that I have no interest in understanding cameras, aperture, depth of field, lighting etc. I have tried many times in the past, I was even a member of the famous Camera Club in South London, and took several courses with adult education, but it is not for me. Yet I love taking photos, and my eye often look at things with a specific composition in mind. Most of the photos I take are done with my mobile, whenever I need to capture a moment. I do very little editing, and I use a basic app that is on my laptop, to either resize or adjust the lighting if necessary. Over time I have noticed that I am fond of specific subjects such as people on the tube, chairs, flowers. I hope you will enjoy some of them below.

The 30/30 challenge organised by @12ocollective
On 1st April 21 I joined this photographic challenge where I had to post one photo per day. It opened a new way to my creativity, and it was a fascinating journey. I gave a title to each photo to describe more either the place where the photo was taken, or what I tried to express.
