Trapped in Dalston
In my attempt to photograph the A10 from Shoreditch to Stamford Hill, I got completely trapped in Dalston. I just love it…

From Shoreditch to Stamford Hill
Since back from Spain, I am working on a commission for the Hackney Council about the cultural diversity along the A10 (Kingsland Rd, Stoke Newington Rd and Stamford Hill rd). The dead line is at the end of the month so I don’t have much time. I have been shooting for about 4 days, getting comfortable on the field and trying to gain access to different ‘cultural activities’ such turkish ‘only for members’ clubs or cuban habanos cigars smoking rooms. So far I have been lucky in terms of the weather and in having the possibility to go to the Hackney carnival which took place last weekend along the A10. For now I got some street shots. Here I am posting a few:

Hackney Portraits
I don’t feel very confident when it takes to do portraits. I am just very clumsy when telling them what to do, how to pose (or not pose). They are the ones who are supposed to feel unconfortable but it is normally me and eventually they are the ones who welcome me in their houses, make me feel relaxed and sometimes make possible an acceptable portrait.

The Wick
I have been commissioned by the Hackney Museum to produce an image representative of the Hackney Wick to be on a poster. In the middle of my wedding season storm I found some time early morning while my computer was still rendering from the evening before. I have lots of images from the Wick that could be used, but just found fun and challenging to go and look for an image…
The leitmotive: Traffic cones
Some street cones for you all…
More on ‘Urban Color’
I don’t know yet how to call this work, not sure if it is something, for now just a ‘project’.
Anyways, a few shoots more here:
Building refurbishment in a Hoxton’s corner
Off Hoxton Market
Council state furniture, Hoxton
Vans in Hoxton
Urban furniture, de Beavoir Town
Stoke Newington Road
And a frivolity, in Hoxton again. Perhaps all of them are frivolities…what you people think?
Old stuff freshly scanned
I have recently been scanning some stuff I took back in december with my friend’s Ian lovely RolleiFlex. I don’t have it anymore since then , actually these are the last shoots I took with it. And I will get soon one for myself.
