I have been going through your work, it was like tracing footsteps in a former life, how familiar it all seems, I love the film of Sandra her life and her vitality, and the music of Maria Callas.
the man with the basket is Bernie Saunders, a friend and a Labour councillor before he passed away, yes I agree, Brick Lane does inspire with its history and its dreams

Yet another beautifully observed and written piece. I’ve known Phil Maxwell’s work for almost 25 years, and it is deserving of much wider recognition than it currently receives. He observes but never intrudes, and manages to obtain fine and spontaneous images because of the rapport and trust he can instantly build with the people he photographs. They never seem to be subjects but partners in the images taken.

I was introduced to Brick Lane By Danny Wright. I was there to Buy Second Hand Vinyl. Danny introduced me to The Brick Lane Market, this Cultural Centre of East End Life. As like a High Class Jeweller from Covent Garden revealing a Gem of Great Value…. I grew up in Glasgow and frequented both The Barrows and Paddies Market and so felt at home in Brick Lane. These Photographs brought back Pleasant Memories .
