East is East
Here's the blurb from Mr WWSI:
'Back to the East this week for Hanbury Street. Infamous for being the location of Jack the Ripper's fourth victim – Mary Ann Chapman. Although you won't see the location today as it's a carpark! The street is also famous for being where Bud Flanagan – the comedian – was born (at number 12 – which is still there!)
It's a street of two halves – the top end being hectic and thronged with people who are visiting Brick Lane – the other more low key and gritty. There's plenty to photograph – it's graffiti, sorry, street art – central with stickers, post ups and stencil crazy. There's loads of people at the weekends being the main drag between Spitalfields and brick lane.'
I headed off with the Holga, plus a little Photoshop trickery. Not quite straight ouuta the box, but it's all about experimentation anyway. Favourable lighting conditions, shame I was so short on time.
