It was nice to see my picture of the Hungarian right wing group Jobbik when they were trapped inside Holborn Station on Sunday (26th January 14). This was the front page of the Huffington Post Uk.
More of these would be good!

iPhones and the death of Photography.
Great article in the Guardian. http://goo.gl/VxQGQC about the rapid advances in photographic technology, namely the iPhone (and other similar products presumably). It seems there are conflicting views on the influence and benefits/ drawbacks of these new ways of making images.
As a photographer I am also a bit confused by all of this. Photography used to be a more technical and difficult business. Simply getting a well exposed, focussed, processed and developed picture required quite a few and varied skills. Now, well let's face it, it is perfectly possible to produce a well exposed, focussed, processed etc picture, without the photographer having any skills whatsoever. I've seen it happen. So called 'photographers' can spend a £1000 or less and call themselves a 'photographer' and barely know what ISO is or does, have no clue about exposure and make a living.
iPhones simply introduce another level of skills redundancy.
Yes we're all photographers now.
And don't get me talking about something called instagram.

One Direction. Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust.
© Matthew Chattle Photography
One Direction fans filled Leicester Square at the launch of their film 'This is Me'. Billed by the media as some sort of new phenomenon etc, and comparisons made to A Hard Days Night.
I suppose you would need to be a teenage girl to appreciate it all, and eevryone seemed to be having a good time.

This Police Officer got well and truly stickered during Pride London 2013 as he kept the peace on Oxford Street, actually he didn't have much to do apart from look after a young man overcome by the heat.

Anti Thatcher 'party' Trafalgar Square. Matthew Chattle News Photography London

There was a 'party' to celebrate the death of Margaret Thatcher, it was a bit of a dismal, damp affair with no real trouble and all a bit sad really. Anyone under 35 shouldn't have been there really as they haven't a clue about those times really. Don't want to go back there thank-you very much.

Funeral Baroness Thatcher. Matthew Chattle News Photography London
© Matthew Chattle News Photography London
I was at Ludgate Hill for the funeral of Baroness Thatcher, not a big fan of hers back in the 70s and 80s but dying is dying so it was a solemn occasion, if a trifle over priced. But I don't think there'll be another like it in my life time, so I was there.
