For my second installment of pics from iconic London, I tried to keep my promise of bringing you photos that were a bit brighter and bolder in contrast
to the previous blog, which featured only black and white images. The theme for this week's selections was "louder," because most of the pics were taken during the first half of
our five-night concert series, which lived up to our expectations and more with fans coming from every corner of Europe -- from the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Spain and beyond -- as well as from Australia and Latin America. It was like the United Nations of music fans. The activity surrounding
Shout It Out's UK release and the kick-off of the sold-out shows was from sun-up till down, but in between the cameras were out capturing everything from cupcakes, technicolor courtyards next to the oldest skateshop in London and the location for our 1997 music vid
"Where's the Love." Mixed in with the colorful shots are my grainy late-night iPhone pics which captured the gathering fans during our after-show departure and an abstract pic from the celeb-packed,
Glamour "Woman of the Year" event. Prolly my favorites are those purely for the art; images of side-streets, bike racks and robot sushi shops, all of which make up a wandering vision of this great city through my various lenses. Hope you enjoy.

I love seeing your photographs, Taylor - they're fantastic :D Hopefully when Hanson comes back to Australia sometime soon we'll get to see some pics of the Land Down Under - it's always fascinating to see my home country through the eyes of a tourist. :) Looking forward to seeing more :)

Great photo's! I really enjoy your hobby of taking random photo's all over the cities you go to. I enjoy taking random photo's also but I don't think they compare to those that you take.

Love them! I totally agree with Aeryn - Tasmania, Australia has some of the most spectacular scenery in the world to photograph!! Not to mention some pretty huge Hanson fans!!!

Taylor:
I dont know what in the world you were trying to take a picture of, but the one with the double exposure of you taking a pic is my favorite... you can actually see you twice in the pic... its really cool how it turned out :) would make a neat cover for an album :) so glad the pics are in color... i was pretty excited to see isaac in a regular tshirt!! no suit? black is definately his color. at first i laughed when i saw the million tcup pics, thinking maybe you asked for this many cups of tea after the concert???? theeeeennnnnn i figured it out. lol also the pic of you taking pics with two different cameras at same time was pretty entertaining.....
anyways, thanks for taking these cool pics or rather sharing what you took. its fun to see what you see. and to seeeee your passion for picture taking....

I'm so amazed and proud, when I discovered your pics Tay! You are an artist. And I'm very touched, as an Historian of Art, and as a fan, for the creative and artistic person that you are.
If you would have a painter, I would have love your art, I'm sure of that. There's something in what you're creating, in music with your two brothers, in painting, taking photographs, in action!
Thank you for all of this!
And thank you for rocking my life as my favorite music band, since 10 years!
Myrina, french fan, was there for SHout It Show show in London in June.
