GA, very moving photos of post-war London, particularly “Bomb site, St. Mathias School” and “Wens Cafe,” Bethal Green.

Didn’t Anthony Armstrong Jones romance Princess Margaret in his flat in East London before they announced their engagement? Not sure.

The boy reading intently in the midst of the busy market — the image totally captures how it feels to disappear into a paragraph of text. And speaking of words, notice the
“heaven/hell” graphics above the nativity scene, with two men looking on. Their eyes locked on the illuminated scene, the words above are lost and superfluous.
An amazing series – endless shadings, moods and narratives.
Many thanks.

Something to do with whatever is in the pots below maybe?

Dramatic B/W studies so much power here, could memorize one. Even here I love his work photo craft at its best. Poet John
