George Takei  🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽
London is a singular city of surprises and new discoveries, even for a grizzled veteran London visitor. This the Battersea Power Station, which has undergone an incredible renovation.
I hope to see many of you when I make my London debut this January in Allegiance!

@georgetakei Oh wow. Didn't know you were in London! Are you here until January?

Am a strong believer in "you don't ask you don't get", no matter how unlikely... I'd love to shoot some portraits of you whilst you're in London. My professional photography work is as a freelance photojournalist and my style of portraiture is usually very candid and unobtrusive. Would be honoured to shoot a few frames of you just for my own personal enjoyment of photography.

Never been to London, likely never well. Glad to see you are there and enjoying the experience though. Your posts give me a peek at the psyche of a performing artist -- entirely different from my stem personality.

I have been to London but one time, in May of 2018, and the renovation at Battersea was in full swing.

@georgetakei Oh George! You've discovered my favourite building and I'm not surprised that you love it. Back when it was still a working power station (blimey! I'm showing my age!), whenever we'd been away, when it hove into view from the train, I knew I was back home in South London again (I've always been a home-body). I love that you appreciate this majestic building. Have an amazing time in London.🥰
