Brick Lane and Environs

[Rob MacKillop]

From our London trip. Huawei P9 phone camera. It has two lenses, one capturing colour, the other black and white, which it then mixes. But this is just the b&w lens.

Wow! That is a great set of pictures.
I shall add Brick Lane to my "must be visited" list.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Dave. The community garden is worth a visit. It's just behind Brick Lane, but I couldn't say which compass point to follow - I was completely lost.

What a wonderful set, Rob.

Love the market in front of the wall and the way the wares are camouflaged against the graffiti (and chair in the later shot). Rhona looks suitably, 'in the midst'. Love the tyre totem and the last shot. Rough trade, eh! The Rough Trade?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Rough Trade used to be a record company for punks, probably still is. They released some great records early on. I remember being in their "boardroom" (aka the toilet) with a band of hopefuls, but no deal was struck...just as well. That was forty years ago...wow...I'm ancient!

 

[Dave Farnes]

I remember buying records at Rough Trade.. yup, that was about 40 years ago. Had a store in Camden back then if I remember correctly.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

That's right. The new one is much bigger. Still has a punky vibe.

Images from this phone appear very good Rob and a nice insight to the back streets of the east end as of today.

Cheers, Julian. I sold my quattros to pay for a cello...the phone and the Hexar are all I have these days. Does me fine, though.
