WALK ON BY

WALK ON BYSome of you may recall my photo of Mervyn, a homeless man whom I spoke to for a while and who allowed me to take his portrait.  This records when I first saw him and I am not in any way criticising the ladies who walked past him but it is interesting to note their shopping bags in contrast to Mervyn’s ‘nothing’.

In fact, once they saw me approach him and talk to him they returned to give him some money as well which was lovely.

 

Memoriam

DSC_1102A statue to honour those who died in the steel industry in Corby, Northamptonshire, England, over the years.  Corby has suffered financial hardship because of the loss of most of the industry and, whilst regeneration is occurring, it is mainly the leisure industry which is creating jobs now.  I feel this statue also honours the dying industry itself.
