Greenwich Stroll: On Thursday 18th October 2018 I walked with two or three different photographers from North Greenwich Station to the centre of Greenwich and made the images on this submit. You’ll be able to see many extra of them in a submit on My London Diary, Greenwich Stroll.
Lately on >Re:PHOTO I’ve revealed a collection of posts about my walks in London again within the Eighties, together with a number of the photos I took then which are actually in my albums on Flickr. The latest stroll I’ve featured has been in Brixton and Stockwell and commenced with Stockwell Park, Bus Storage, Tower and Mason, and I’ve nonetheless to complete the posts on this, and can accomplish that shortly.
However I’ve continued to stroll round London, if much less steadily than earlier than lately. My walks now are quite shorter in size and period and are principally along with just a few mates, different photographers who typically lure me into pubs on the way in which (I’m simply tempted.) And we nearly all the time find yourself with a meal collectively in a single.
Photographically issues are quite completely different too. I don’t even all the time take any images and am now not engaged on the type of prolonged tasks which I had again in these earlier days, recording the material of town and particularly these areas present process substantial change – resembling the entire of London’s docklands.
Again within the 80s and 90s I all the time labored with at the least two cameras, one with black and white movie and the opposite with color. Up to now I’ve included little or no of the color work in these posts right here, partially as a result of I used to be engaged on a unique venture with the color. You’ll be able to see extra of the color work within the on-line venture initially put collectively as a dummy for an as but unpublished ebook within the early Nineties, ‘Café Superb, Cool Blondes & Paradise‘.
Extra lately a number of internet sites have revealed options utilizing primarily these color photos from my Flickr albums typically together with a number of the black and white. The latest of those is on Flashbak, ‘34 Images From A Stroll Round Tooting, South London In 1990‘. It places collectively pictures from a number of visits to the world and features a few black and white pictures of individuals on the streets, Within the introduction Paul Sorene feedback “What we love about Peter’s photos is that he exhibits us the on a regular basis issues we noticed however didn’t a lot discover. Now that we get to look once more, issues seems unusually acquainted.” I feel that is in regards to the twelfth set of my photos on that web site.
However now I solely take one digital camera on my walks, and all the time work in color because the digital camera is digital. I may simply swap the photographs to black and white, however have solely finished so extraordinarily not often.
The opposite giant change for me is the benefit with which I can now make panoramic views, now not needing to hold a separate digital camera for these, simply the proper lens. Lots of the pictures from my stroll on Thursday 18th October 2018 are panoramic with a horizontal angle of view of round 145 levels though they’ve a ‘regular’ facet ratio of three:2 as additionally they have a big vertical angle of view. Just some are cropped to a extra panoramic format.
Lastly, right here is the paragraph I wrote in regards to the space in 2018:
I first walked alongside right here again in 1980, and have finished so numerous occasions since, although lately a lot of the riverside path has been closed because the previous wharves are being changed by luxurious flats. It’s nonetheless an fascinating stroll, although it has misplaced nearly all the industrial curiosity it as soon as had. A River Thames that’s quickly turning into lined by new and largely characterless buildings is at occasions a tragic state, however there nonetheless stay some liminal landscapes and stunning vistas.
