London 2012 Olympics development

On May 5th I am attending another London Independent Photography workshop, this time on reportage photography given by Brian Harris, who has asked us to photograph "progress" on the 2012 Olympics development.

So far I have walked round the Olympic Park South Walk which borders the development, taking photos which I show in a slideshow. For someone who lives in West London and who thinks East London is an industrial landscape, my trip to the Lea Valley was a revelation with lots of greenery and wildlife, mixed in with dereliction and new developments. The fishermen I came across had recently caught 12 & 1/2 lb Bream!

As you will see, one can't really see any development going on, apart from the odd crane or machine, so I will keep trying to gain access to the works themselves up to the last minute!.
