Hi. I have been following artist Anthony Gormley's project in Trafalgar Square for the past 60 days. I went down there at different times of the day on different days with my Flip. I even managed to track him down for an interview which was kind of him.

I love the interaction of this project. It hasn't really been just about the person taking to the plinth. It has also been about the crowd, the talk shows, the art world, and the news media. They have all had something to say about it which has been fascinating.

I wonder how this piece would be different if it were staged in any other part of the world. Along the way I met the most interesting people. Some people doing it for fun, for history, for charity and for personal expression. I always managed to learn something new about someone.

What would you do if you were a Plinther?
