Bench on Camden High Street
I have been documenting the people that use this bench which is dedicated to a Frederick Pearce in Camden Town for a while now and I have SO many pictures that my missus had the idea to put them out there for all to see....The project started after I saw and snapped a group of drunk moshers using 'The Bench' as a meeting place for the Metal venue around the corner(PURPLE TURTLE). From that moment I kept noticing PEOPLE using 'The Bench' . So I set my Camera up and decided that "if you sit on the bench,and I see you,Your documented"...Iv got Crackheads and Suits, Iv got Rich and Poor, Iv got Weird and Wonderful , Iv got Addicts and Arrests, friends and family , clothed and nudity, man with two different shoes,a dude pissing himself,nose pickers,kissers,dog lovers,a punk,happy people,sad people,hangovers,only one i-pad user,my mates bare arses,beautiful people,not so beautiful people,people doing stuff,people doing fuck all,sleeping,eating,drinking....This bench is a 2meter long...1.4meter high....900mm deep space.People use it to 'sit and watch the world go by(people watching)' or rest their legs(The old and over weight). What I see is a 2meter long...1.4 meter high....900mm deep stage....the stories of everyone that sits for THEIR moment would make an amazing book. Im not a writer. All I can do is capture a moment and share......
