Street Talk

The Lady below lived just off Brick Lane and would spend a lot of her day talking to herself and at the same time trying to engage passers by in conversation. She always wore the same white coat and would usually have a plastic bag with some food inside. One of her favourite spots was the bridge on Brick Lane.

I photographed the TV presenter below as she did a ‘live relay’ from Time Square, I always felt the old Lady on Brick Lane had stories to tell which would eclipse anything the TV presenter was capable of sharing with her audience.
