Having finally saved enough for my first Leica, I quickly became enamored of its speed of use and ability to render exciting images lost to its slower and less competent competitors. I emigrated from my native London to the United States in 1977, and these photographs represent a time which, while only a few years ago, is already ancient history in the context of the sea changes in culture and sorroundings which have taken place since.
The photographs are presented one per page, with background information in a separate Appendix. All were taken on my Leica, mostly with a 35mm lens, on Kodak TriX film. I finally sold that camera in 2008 after 37 happy years of partnership. Digital had made film obsolete.
The book is printed on 8.5" x 11" stock and is available for $19.95 plus shipping (US or International) from The Publisher. An autographed copy may be purchased directly from the me for $29.95 including shipping in the US (ask if you are overseas). I can be contacted by Email ans an interview with me appears here.
