The Melancholy of Objects is a series of portraits of
objects I've found in Southwark, south-east London. This
is my neighbourhood. I've lived here for years and walk
these streets almost every day. The streets are full of the
stuff of life - discarded, lost and forgotten. Some of the
objects talk to me. These photographs are my reply.
I was an abstract painter for fifteen years and switched to
photography in 2005. All these photographs were taken with a
1960 Rolleiflex T, which has been the only camera I use
since I bought it last year.
