A three in one image0

Posted In Blog,Photography,Wordpress

Over the past few months I’ve been loosely working on a couple of projects. Uniformity in urban style, the workings of the Colombia Road flower market, and street life in East London. Strangely these three themes crossed over in this one image.

I’m not too sure how these projects will end up. Or what format they’ll be presented in. So far I’ve been casually building them as the mood takes me. I might start to focus more on the specifics as opposed to my current scatter gun approach.

Strolling through Colombia Road, up to Brick Lane, and around by Spitalfields Market this morning certainly gave me a lot to think about. Such a vibrant part of London. So full of possibilities, so many contradictions, and every inch of pavement brimming with energy.
Hmm… Where to start?

Dave, the cabinet maker0

This is a photo of my very good mate Dave Boswell. He is the self proclaimed last cabinet maker of Shoreditch. I spent the afternoon with him in his fascinating workshop drinking tea, chatting about the timber, and discussing the ills of East London’s youth. We both agreed that most problems can be solved by giving people something meaningful and interesting to do. Like welding, carpentry, painting, or creating something of purpose.

Dave is a man full of ancient tales. Every tool and piece of wood hanging from his wall has a string of stories attached to it. He’s making me a table. I must get the history behind the wood he’s using.
