These photos remind me so much of when I first came to work in Tower Hamlets, thanks for the memories.

First, we have the self description of a man…. his personal history, his career trajectory, his family background, his neighborhood, etc. Then, the Big Reveal — the hobby that became a passion, that continues to sustain and interest him. As he puts it, he is KNOWN as “the history guy and the photographer”. How wonderful to be known in one’s community for our gifts and our enthusiasms? Seriously.
The community that he has captured in-print is so vibrant and alive — I expect a reflection of the photographer himself. That’s just my speculation, but I thought this post totally radiated with a personal voice, a spark, a distinctive way of sharing. So glad that it concluded with a color photo of the man himself.

Life-affirming and optimistic. Thank you, GA.

I know the problems with not-yet-developed films and photos not enlarged on paper. Also, I still want to digitize old negatives at some point…. I wonder if I can do it in this lifetime?

Love & Peace
