Derek Ridgers

Today my daily thank-you card goes to: Derek Ridgers!
Thanks to this quiet observer and british photographer who with the beginning of the 70's captured over more than three decades of british social scenes and thus did a more than good job in documenting british pop-, street- and sub-cultures of Skinheads, Punks and New Romantics from this era. Not only in the streets of London he found his scenarios to record, also in the fashionable Soho's club scene you always were a witness of marvellous nightly spectacles.
Thanks to this man that following generations always will be able to enjoy and vaguely imagine the vibe of all these extravagant and exotic characters of this bygone era in Great Britain.
"They really were remarkable and very creative times. Which ended, in my opinion, when Leigh Bowery's Taboo closed in 1987."

Me 4 You

Talking about Street Art yesterday i need to admit in the same breath that my heart beats for it a lifetime! With eagle eyes tiptoeing through the streets, cities, villages and forests on our planet i simply love their little minor changes, unnoticed by most of us, observing and capturing their own little microcosm.
With this in mind i would love to share with you those treasures  which i found during the last years and will discover in the future, time by time refreshing the list of my findings. Paying attention to the little things in life
Please feel free to add informations via comment or mail if you should recognize an artists work on my photos which until then hasn't been assigned.
