African Paparazi in London
My friend always said to me never to go anywhere without your camera as the world is a stage. He smiled and said to me that.
having a zoom lens camera is like havin’ four balls.
Being back to London was a very different experience.
The old London I left behind was full of social centers run by Leftist Radical Anarchists. We spent weeks in social centres creating Art and writing radical software(this was the start of opensource culture)
However, not all social centres were the same. The Wombles (an anarchist Collective) spaces tended to be more welcoming to ethinic minority as compared to other collectives.—This will have to be another posting—
Okay, let’s forget about that time-warp and get back to a newer one.
