All of the posts and images for My London Diary<\/em> for May 2014<\/a> are now on-line, and I hope the links are all working. Sometimes pictures do mysteriously disappear and have to be uploaded again. If you notice missing images or broken links please let me know – there is an e-mail link on each monthly page of My London Diary. There are still a few stories I have to tell about the story behind the pictures from the second half of the month – such as this:<\/p>\n

\nI was escorted out of the Department for Education for taking photographs of this protest ‘class’ against education minister Michael Gove’<\/small><\/p>\n

and about how I worked at ISO 25600 and jpeg at one event by mistake – you can probably spot which in the pictures below, and a few more.<\/p>\n

While I’m thinking about May I decided to post some of the site statistics for that month for this blog, >Re:PHOTO.<\/p>\n

It isn’t easy to do the same for My London Diary, as this can be reached at several different web addresses, including the new mylondondiary.uk<\/em> which I have registered simply to avoid confusion. But I’m gratified to see that over 5000 people per day on average now read this blog. It’s still a little short of the audience (around a million views a month) when I wrote about photography for a commercial site – and for a living – but a very significant number. But it is quality that really counts rather than quantity – and I have no doubts on that score. You wouldn’t be reading this if you didn’t care about photography.<\/p>\n

The design (such as it is) of My London Diary means that the lead image used on the ‘month’ page is always in landscape format. As I’ve previously noted the increasing viewing of images on screens has led to a dramatic decrease in portrait format – so I’ve tried to redress that a little with the images on this page. The format of this blog, which limits the horizontal width to 450 pixels, works better with portrait format.<\/p>\n
