Description
London In England in the United Kingdom.
I took this image many years ago on one of my wanderings around London. I came across this boy in the district of Southwark south of the River Thames. I asked him if I could take his picture and he said I could. I have rarely since found anyone so self assured and serene. He seemed so mature and wise much more than his age would suggest. I tried to portray this in my image. Innocent dignity.
Southwark in those days still felt rather dickensian, whereas today it has been gentrified and has lost a lot of it's historic character. These days you are, sadly, more likely to see a wealthy hedge fund manager than a real working class Londoner.If you like my work or find it interesting I would appreciate it very much if you would follow me here on Fine Art America.
