A few years ago as I was walking down Regent Street, a German tourist stopped me and asked me the way to Carnaby St. I told him he needed a time machine to go back 40 years before more helpfully pointing out the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But last Saturday I went back there for a quick look at a celebration of an event only 30 years ago, on the windows of a shop called Size?<\/a><\/em> <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is a temporary display, for one week only, tracing a little of the history of a trainer, the apparently iconic Nike Air Max 90<\/a> introduced in 1990 and since with many variations, and back in 1990 I made a picture in Notting Hill in which the trainer can be clearly seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can see that picture, along with two others from Notting Hill on the shop front, and also on a large screen inside the store. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My favourite of the three images is this line of girls beside a sound system on a lorry going down Ladbroke Grove. You can see these two and others in my contribution to the 2008 show, English Carnival<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The third of my images – in the picture above both on the store front and rather blue on a screen inside – is one that didn’t feture either in the 2008 show or in my recent Caf\u00e9 Royal Book on Notting Hill<\/a>, and I think may not have been published before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All three images I think embody something of the spirit of carnival, and I was pleased to see them being used – also in some online posts and a printed catalogue from Size?. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Readers of this post who have access to academic journals on line may like to read the article Notting Hill in Carnival<\/a> which features 20 of my Notting Hill pictures with text by George Mentore them (including one of those here) as well as a more general article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
