\n\"Brunswick<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I suppose my photography is always a catalogue of obsessions, but at times and in particular places this shows more strongly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Palace<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Most of these pictures were taken in Kensington, with just a couple in Primrose Hill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Brunswick<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photographically there is a certain interest in rendering these essentially white surfaces – as some photographers have found with subjects like white eggs on a white plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Inverness<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But I suppose that there might be more Freudian interpretations of at least some of these pictures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Inverness<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

London developed hugely in the nineteenth century with stock brick for the workers and stucco for the middle classes, and I still feel something of an outsider in these wealthy areas, although some had become pretty down-at-heel by the 70s and 80s when I was making these pictures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Inverness<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since then, most of them have been tidied up and refurbished, and more divided into flats now often worth rather my than my own outer suburban house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"St<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are times I find myself rather despising what appears to be overdone icing on the architectural cake, and looking for something with a little more depth and variation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Kensington<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There is something of the fairly tale about these houses and the pictures, and although I had committed myself to photographing all of London I felt a longing to get away from Kensington and back to the real world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
