The Shop on Greame St

As with many of the negatives in my archive from the 1970s, these photographs were printed only once -- at the time of their making -- so that the people photographed could have a picture to keep.

Now, though, I am working my way through the files, scanning negatives, and pictures are coming into the light for the first time in nearly forty years.

The documentary adventure continues.

The Shop on Greame St
r/t: 4 min, 46 sec.
In 1972, while studying photography at Manchester Polytechnic, I rented a disused barber's shop in the city's Moss Side district and opened it as a free portrait studio. I was inspired by New Yorker Bruce Davidson's work in Harlem, East 100th Street.
