Big cities are like that, some neighborhoods suddenly become cool while others lose their popularity: it is a continuous rise and fall, a fashion and popularity game. I have always been intrigued by those areas depicted as "East" areas: the "East Village", "East London", "East Coast", "East side",...
They all seem to have something in common though, an element of coolness, trendiness and youth. They seem to be very popular with extravagant residents and artists. They are however pretty far from those neat and quiet residential areas where the buildings and square are immaculate, but they definitely carry something invaluable: life! Lively, unpretentious and affordable local attractions!
To inaugurate my new camera I have decided to capture a little bit of East London and I totally understand why it has become the place to be: the ideal "island" just off the city, surrounded by the Regent's canal where the old Shoreditch buildings and factories are now been revived into fabulous lofts!
