Elen:
Few things in life are as good as finding the secret treasures a friend might have. It was not until now that I had the chance to go to the Courier service and grab the beautiful, lovely gift you sent to me from the heart and the entrails of South East London. When I think of the former head of the British Empire I usually see images like these ones: deprived of every bit of grandeur and past glories, yet fascinating and deeply moving.
Your ability as a photographer and as a designer is beyond dispute. You hunt the very essence of that city in a way that also transmits not its people's feelings, because they are absent, but its very essence and loneliness, its deepest feelings, those that are there but which to the casual onlooker never exist. But also its miseries, albeit in a very abstract and aesthetic way.
Deep inside you dwells art, you transpire it, from mesmerizing Saxo notes to imaging. I am really happy being your friend. This small, yet revealing and magic scrapbook is one of the very best homages of my whole life. Thanks forever.
