Sundays On Bricklane - WIP

Before One way ticket to India, I put in my practice hours shooting people on Bricklane.

I use to go there religiously almost every Sunday for 2 years straight from 2014/2015.

Alot of people I shot were strangers at first, but most became friends because they use to come here as regularly as I did. I became part of the fabric of the Bricklane community.

In my late 20s London often felt like a place for just work work work, I didn't really think I had friends outside of early Jungle Brown especially in East London were I resided. But this place and @run.dem.crew on a Tuesday gave me hope that there's more than just chasing 'success'.

The camera became my weapon of connection.

I found it fascinating how a snapshot moment connected me to people, exchanging contacts and becoming friends on Facebook. Seeing them use my portrait of them as their profile picture.

I met people from all walks of life, who came to Bricklane for all different reasons. And the interesting thing is the first person who I connected to on Bricklane through our love of music and who introduced me to most the regulars I met, I found out was homeless.

People could be going through the maddest situation in their personal life but an amazing community can often get us through anything. Bricklane was that for me and many others.

It's only right I publish a short zine/photobook dedicated to rare moments of my Bricklane days.

I think I'm gona call it Sundays on Bricklane.
