I know that I write about David Bailey too much, BUT, being the photographic god he is, Bailey's 'East end' work is breathtaking. Every photograph is his recent exhibition act as a true insight into London's previous generations culture. Every photograph ecstatic with life and soul. It does remind me a lot of my own work which makes me feel a lot better about my work when being over critical. Like an ageing wine, Bailey's photographs have gotten better as time as passed due to the fact that society is so different now. What we wear and the places we go look completely different to the outfits and venues featured within this series of work. This is exactly what I want to happen with my work... over time they will act as a raw representation of our culture.
