Street Talk

November 23, 2011

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.

Flying Angels

November 22, 2011

Built in the 15th Century the church of Holy Trinity at Blythburgh is best known for its flying angels that perch on the nave roof.

The brightly coloured and restored angels have a touch of the ‘Harry Potter’ about them. Staring at them above your head one feels they might fly down at any moment and whisper in your ear. There is nothing scary about these angels and if they were to whisper in your ear it would be just to tell you where you could find the finest pint of real ale not to far from the church.
