Newspaper vendors

Seeing large.

Freshly back from my trip to Paris in September 1974 my street vision was honed. I had long enjoyed the characterful faces of the many street vendors of daily papers and set about the task, walking from Charing Cross along Knightsbridge to Earls Court. As pixel peeking attests – as do the headlines – all were taken on one day, September 24, 1974. These are mostly sequential images. Waste of film was simply not a concept.
