But yet again, were they really there? If you want to get to grips with all this, watch the film again and then read Iain Sinclair's take on it, and in particular Maryon Park, in his superb 'Lights Out For The Territory'.

I got to watch (I believe they call it art directing) a photographer shooting worn out clothing for a recycling ad.<BR/><BR/>As for you Misters A and W, I wonder what the parks police CCTV watchers made of two gentlemen of a certain age poking around in the bushes.

He must have shot it at about this time of year, when the leaves have a hardened edge to them and rustle in a way that a fresh spring leave wouldn't. It was Blow Up that steered me in the direction of Photography as a career. I imagined myself in the studio romp scene. Sadly, a long way from the truth, though I did photograph some bra's yesterday on two blond models!Toby Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982935561221527990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611055706073214403.post-47852228715895573312008-09-04T19:59:00.000+01:002008-09-04T19:59:00.000+01:00It was absolutely worth legging it all the way alo...It was absolutely worth legging it all the way along the Woolwich Road to find this place with its otherworldly stillness.Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.com
