"The Candle That Burns Twice As Bright Burns Half As Long"

"This image was taken in the financial district of London, known as Canary Wharf, an area I have always felt resembles something out of a William Gibson novel. A world of imposing steel structures that overlook everything and an army of workers in white shirts and black suits. Lunchtime during the Summer months brings the workers out to recharge their batteries in the sun. Seated in lines and switched off.

The title is taken from the movie 'Blade Runner', as I felt it mirrored both my own feelings about the area and the almost Replicant pose from the main subject in the image."
