Excalbur

These photographs accompany an article by Ros Anderson in todays Guardian Weekend. It was such a interesting job.  The Excalibur Estate in Catford is due to be demolished and the first phase of house clearances has already begun. Sadly for lots of residents a vote went very marginally in favour of moving.

Below is Eddie O'Mahoney, the estates oldest resident who moved in in 1946. Everyone we spoke to was great but it was especially hard to tear ourselves away from Eddie's immaculate lounge. A WW11 veteran who described being in a Japanese Prisoner of war camp as, "not as bad as it sounds". Eddie doesn't want to go anywhere and who can blame him at 92 and after more than 60 years.

Double blog

Should you blog about a blogpost about yourself? Not sure really but it doesn't happen very often so here you go,

Check out this design studios work anyway, http://supernaut-studio.com. They're brilliant and have cheekbones to die for which is never a bad thing.

Thanks for the post!

Uptown Ranking

Here's Ranking Roger from The Beat doing his thing a few weeks ago. After the gig he teased me for only photographing him after he took his top off. That's nearly true (see photo 1 as evidence in my favour) but he only wore a top for about 10 seconds so I didn't have much choice. Still doing it though. The ladies went wild and I am not joking. Wild.
