it was MEESON all summer

Four Things

These are from a film that i think has been through one or two X-Rays at too many airports (i bought it with me from NZ when i left), all photos taken around the Hackney Marsh again.

The Almighty Matfot

All of these photos are from late March/April, taken on the Matfot rangefinder i got in Spain.
I was gagging taking the photo of those geese, they smell unbelievably bad.
The skatepark down the bottom is called Meanwhile, and is solely responsible for the purchase of a skateboard, i cant wait to skate there.

Hackney Marsh

This is Hackney Marsh. The 'Marsh' used to be a real willo' the wisp type place, the Romans apparently built one of their famous highways across it, and it managed to strand a bunch of Vikings at some point too. It was drained in Medieval times (those crazy Saxons), and spent much of World War II being filled with rubble.

Now its full of football fields (88 or so according to wiki, full size too), you can find footage on youtube of (a lot of soccer) people doing 'freestyle frisbee', and running through the snow barefoot. I've managed to convince two people to come to the Marsh with me...

p.s If Cameron reads this, let it be known that the Knights Templar (Holy Crap!) used the Marsh for Pastures until they were abolished (you know why...).

Oh and there's a fantastic photographer called Stephen Gill who photographs around Hackney Wick, see his work here.
