Disconnect
In the early 1980s I remember walking down Whitechapel Road wearing a new ‘Walkman’ audio cassete player. It attached to your belt as it was too big to put in your pocket. I was very proud of my new gadget but I soon tired of it because I realised wearing headphones in the street isolates you from the natural noise, conversation and music of the place. If you’re wearing headphones you’re in a world of your own isolated from the free sounds of our natural or man made environment. Back then I had no idea that the wearing of headphones / ear plugs would become so prolific – all over the world. I began photographing people wearing headphones decades ago as I thought they were symptomatic of alienation in modern society. The work below attempts to explore these thoughts.

Smoking
The focal point of this print is a cigarette seller I photographed in Java. He is flanked to his right by a couple photographed on Brick Lane; the man is rolling himself a cigarette. On his left is a woman photographed using her phone and having a smoke outside Shoreditch station.
