After my sermon on yesterdays post I will button my lip today and keep this short, but I would just like to point out one photo in particular, in the forth photo from the end you will see MONTY sitting at his pitch, Monty and his wife Milly used to trade in Sclater St for many years very close to me, the reason I single out that photo in particular is because Monty was a special man in the market because he was a surviver of the AUSCHWITZ DEATH CAMP, he had a hideous sequence of numbers tattooed along his arm from his time in the camp awaiting extermination, he would often tell me the most horrendous storys about his days in the death camp, storys that I will never forget, so in short, from AUSCHWITZ to Sclater St, I told you yesterday, all of REAL life is in this place, great photos, I cant get enough of them.
Drawn from life!
Love & Peace
