Brick Lane Exhibition
I’ve started planning for an exhibition about Brick Lane and the surrounding area. It will be at the Rich Mix Centre in April next year. I hope to publish a book to go with it.
I’ve been taking photographs of the area for over thirty years so I have to be ruthless in editing images for the book and the show. This is a process I am familiar with but I still feel the urge to break away from work in my studio and seek out more potential shots. Here are a few shots I made one day last week; most likely none of them will make into the book or the exhibition!

Back To The Street
As part of the East End Lives film project Wentworth Street in Petticoat Lane Market has received a makeover of historic black and white photographs taken in Whitechapel during the past 30 years. This is the first time street photography has been returned back to the street on such a scale. The street exhibition, sponsored by East End Homes and Telford Homes, comprises classic shots from my East End archive; the result is a grand free open air exhibition of East End images. You Have two years to catch the show!
