South Croydon Portraits
Towards the end ( hopefully ) of 2020's lockdown and with local businesses ( and places of worship etc. ) tentatively reopening, I decided to put together a series of portraits which have been exhibited online by a local community association and hopefully will be given exhibition space later in the year or early 2021.
So far this has been fun - and the subjects readily embrace anything which might shine a spotlight on the happy little village-like community we have here on the fringes of Greater London.
