yes his work is amazing. he used to be a dancer like myself so it was really interesting speaking to him about about that and his love for photography. when i commend him on his great body of work or picture he seems shy lol. really nice person. its evident why he was able to capture the candids he did as he drifts into the crowd not being noticed.

hi soulstar ,going of the subject a bit , when I worked for liptons tea /allied suppliers in Bethnal green road ,for a while and we used to get in temp ,casual staff from a agency and on and off we would get ballet dancers ,I don't know if it was out of season work or what but they were always stretching and exercising .there's a bit of history for you.

it was a bit DADA . all we was doing when a delivery came in was taking full tea chests of the conveyer and loading them on to trolleys ,I did have a camera then but I could not always afford film and chemicals ,but I don't think I did bad over the years photo wise .
