What can l say when i’m utterly speechless?

‘Barges’ has my soul. What an image! Staggering.

Across the river
Capstan
From the bridge
After the rain
Three cranes
Smog
ALL inspiring and make my eyes bleed for film.

Thank you for sharing your soulful experiences of the Thames. x

I love the river and often just walk through the City part of it, not the same images as you have found,but still a very vibrant part of London and now used by so many people who I hope at some stage should be seeing these images for themselves,just to realise the changes that have taken place since you saw them.Once again thankyou so much for so many memories.

The atmosphere John captures makes me pine for the London we’ve lost, before the sanitisation and the infestation of generic architecture and retail ‘experiences’.

There has to be a book on the horizon so that these pictures can be appreciated by a wider audience. There are hundred of books out there showing the ‘Tourist’ side of the City and the architecture, fashion, art, culture etc, but John is showing what was (and still is in many cases) the reality for countless millions who have lived, worked, dreamed and died in our Capitol. I certainly hope that there are more photos to come…..
