Shoreditch, East London, 2008

This image has been nominated for the prestigous Pay it Forward Group,

by Tainia Finlay and this is what she very kindly had to say about it…

“I love this not only for the colour but also the feeling of times past, taken in Shoreditch, London. This building has withstood two world wars and could say so much about life over the years in that part of London. Umbra has a unique way of illustrating candid street life in London. One of my favourite artists on RB.”

Thanks so much Tai :))

    Being a mixed media, artist, I love the textures. They are similar to textures i try to ‘create’ on canvas.

  • Thanks artchicnj :)) these places are disappearing fast, with developers moving in everywhere. Its hard to find anywhere run down anymore…

    I dream of finding a facade like this – excellent find, nice work!!

  • thanks shallay, me too :)) I wanted a wider view but there were too many cars about :( problem is, its smack bang in the middle of a very busy area [especially weekends]…but I shall persist.

    Very nice work, I love old doors like this. Keep wanting to get around my town and shoot some. There are many I see and wish to photograph.

  • Thanks ericseyes, you’re lucky, these are pretty rare here and usually obstucted by cars…
