Eleven years after the Second World War, the curiosity of adventurous youth brought a boy with only a few words of English across the water. Coming from a small village in rural Westphalia, he could never quite shake off the awe of the big city. A camera was never far away, & he began to document his experience of life in the capital. London became a backdrop to scenes that never lost their mystery as Hallmann began to explore the history, the pageants, the art, the river, the markets, the fashions & the people.. . He learnt that by travelling on bus or Underground you could meet the world
- sandaled monks & stiletto-heeled damsels, heavies in chains & bovver boots & sneaks on platforms, preachers that would save your soul & some that would prefer your money. Collected here are the best photographs from three decades of street photography capturing the spirit of London & Londoners. Priceless moments are recorded. From the swinging sixties to the flares & platforms of the seventies to punks in the eighties, this is the buzzing atmosphere of late twentieth-century London.
