A scene in Brick Lane, by Terry Freedman
Some of the best photos I take — or, at least, the ones I like the most — are taken in Brick Lane. Forty years ago, this area was very poor, and not what you’d call vibrant. Now it’s thriving and throbbing with excitement.
Proof indeed that punctuation really does make an awful lot of difference.
I find pictures like this help me if I’m attempting to write ‘hard-boiled’ fiction.
I like photographing scenery in black and white, even though it may seem counterintuitive to do so.
I think if I were a fiction writer I could write a decent short story using this picture as a prompt.
To be honest, I don’t know what sort of creative writing this picture might inspire, but I think it looks nice!
I thought I’d better take a photo of the last remaining hole before that, too, disappeared.
