Marks of Man



This image is a bit obvious for me with my working title.
Makes think of an old tutor of mine, Martin Parr, yes when he was broke and not famous he came down to my Art School and showed us his work, and his Nikonos for the wet weather pictures.

Even sold us a few books, of course we all thought he was great, though still as posh as ever. I have no idea why, I guess it just made me think of him.

Nikonos, now there’s a good name, better then Digital Rebel, gives me a lisp, digital wrebbel. Nikonos reminds me of that old kids program "Stingray".

Those of you who follow this blog may remember a post on Johnny Stiletto's book, Shots from the Hip back in 2009; well now there's a new collection of his work, a book entitled Vintage 80s which brings together about 160 street shots.
