I am taking a break from blogging until later in the year. I will be following up leads, passions, hunches and photo story ideas.
In my squatter days in the early '80s, every month I would try and buy The Face magazine. Here are 2 cover pages that I included in my blog post about those days.
My School friend Roger and I moved to London to squat roughly within 3 weeks of one another in 1980. We both changed externally and I believe this was an outward representation of internal agency growth and development; the Indie scene had a particular style. Roger and I would both purchase The Face to keep up-to-date about this (mentioned above). Over the next few years, we both evolved a different habitus of music making that aligned with the 80s Indie music scene in London. Consequently, in another blog post I have chosen to illustrate this developing agency using juxtaposed pictures taken over a 6 year time frame of 1980 to about 1986 (but the first below is actually 1977!). Maybe you can see in the third picture that Siouxsie Sioux was an influence on me?
