One for the Mirror Project...

Posted April 13, 2003 6:16 PM.

There's a road in the middle of London called Oxford Street. It's the main thoroughfare for shopping in the capital. One night on my way home I spotted an exotic advert - a actual pair of trousers apparently suspended in water. It was dark, so the lights inside the advert seemed to make the bubbles blown in from the bottom glow like tiny jellyfish as they crept and teemed around the pockets and the button-fly. I took a picture to try and capture the atmosphere but in the process got a ghostlike image of myself on the left of the frame. Beneath my face you can see fragments of red lettering - the upcoming-bus-times displayed behind me on the bus stop... I've submitted it to The Mirror Project, of course...
