This collection of London street photography is a reflection on the novel "Mrs Dalloway" by Virginia Woolf.
I relate to the novel in part because of its setting in central London, but more so through the style of writing, the personal thoughts of individuals woven into their experience of a day in the city.
The photographs of mine that arrest me most are those in which the figures passing through the frame beg me to wonder what's on their minds: the mundane, the epic, the hope, the fear.

I like this treatment though I'm not too well-acquainted with Woolf so maybe I', missing some of the more subtle points. Nonetheless, I like the Satanic feel to London (that Brixton there somewhere?) and recall the work of the Italian Sergio Larrain ("London 1958-59) and even Tony Ray Jones.
Good work!
