London 2012 Light Show

July 7, 2012

A few nights ago their was a magnificent light display which radiated the balcony of our flat. Lights, surrounding the Shard building illuminated the sky and pierced the City’s mists and clouds. We managed to film the ‘event’ – which lasted over an hour. Below Hazuan takes his eye off the camera to pose with the light show behind him….

When I photographed this man many years ago I had no idea that the image would be used for our film ‘From Cable Street to Brick Lane’ which premieres at the East End Film Festival on July 5th (tonight) at the Genesis Cinema.

The film has made extensive use of my archive of photographs taken in and around Brick Lane.

Travellers

July 4, 2012

During the late 80’s and early 90’s I did a lot of photojournalism for the Local Government Chronicle magazine. The two photographs below were for an article on Travellers. I remember getting a warm welcome from the travellers when I went to see them at a site with very poor facilities.
