The work
The Foundry
The best place existed in London that attracted people from all walks of life, all ages, different nationalities, etc. It didn't matter what you looked like, how you dressed, where you were from. Everyone was welcomed and I haven't found anywhere like that since it's closed. The image was taken when I had my photo exhibition, "Think On", and this image still brings me lots of happy memories.
