Comments on: David Hoffman’s East End https://spitalfieldslife.com/2023/02/22/david-hoffmans-east-end-i/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Thu, 26 Dec 2024 13:21:08 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: marian simpson https://spitalfieldslife.com/2023/02/22/david-hoffmans-east-end-i/#comment-1670790 Thu, 26 Dec 2024 13:21:08 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=194714#comment-1670790 Mr. Hoffman, were you taking photographs at the July 1972 E.1 festiaval in Bigland street?
There was an exibition in August of that year in Whitechapel art gallery. Much to my surprise there was a large photo of myself and a friend dancing in ‘The Australian arms Cannon street
road. I was 23 my friend 27. I had long dark hair 5’10 wearing hotpants my friend bit shorter
blonde wearing a jacket that had badges all over it. I,ve searched for a very long time to track down a copy to show my children. I’d only gor married a few days before, got home very drunk
and my new husband was busy tearing up the wedding telegrams (no sense of humour some people)
If you could help me in my quest you would make an old lady very happy. If you were not there
maybe you can find out who was taking photos that day. many thanks Marian

Great photo moments.

Love & Peace
