Hi Lee, this is an extraordinary image, it reminds me of the streets in London, very much during the Dickensian era! Its very atmospheric, the gentle light glows like a candle. In short its very enigmatic, particularly as you can only see the back of the figure. Cheers Alnoor

Hi Alnoor, Thanks for your kind and thoughtful commet! It's actually me in the photograph...I'm only worth shooting from behind!! All the best, Lee

Absolutely adore this photo!! Can't quite believe it is a photo taken this century!

Wow - that's great I can almost smell the sulphurous street lights. Is that a real photo from a hundred years ago or a re-creation?
Lee Avison replied:
Hi Bruce, thanks for your comment! It's actually a recreation taken only this week. The man in the photograph is actually me! I had the camera on a tripod and I had a remote radio trigger in my left hand. And as for the sulphurous streetlights...well, it was actually daylight and the lights weren't on...but that's another story! Regards, lee
