London Subway Images 1970/80

Interesting collection. I think most London photographers will have done a few like that, at one time or another but he seems to have really worked at it.
 
Street photography becoming a document of life after a short passage of time.

Kodachrome 25! I promise not to whine about poor ISO speed ever again.
 
Fantastic. Right moment pictures, proving the composition is everything. I didn't even notice any technical details, that everyone always wants to argue on this forum.
 
Loved those. I remember K25 in the 80s and I avoided it for the most part.

I noticed an image with a young woman on stairs sticking her tongue out at the camera. I've never had anyone stick their tongue out at me....a badge of honor to be sure, and a challenge I need to accept. However, I think tongues were more common during the late 70s/80s, today I think I'm more likely to get something different -- something associated with fingers.

Last, I love the images of the punks. Some of my first paid work was promotion of punk bands in southern California. Loved it. Those chaps are actually kind of fun. Luckily though, they weren't the ones paying.

Absolutely :) . And, having been mentioned, the constraints of low light and low ISO speed served, if anything, to emphasise the 'authenticity' of the shots.
 
Great photos, I'd like to have seen more of the advertising in the stations, the stations don't change that much but advertising is so era defining.
 
There are so many interesting pictures to be taken on the underground, so many fascinating people and expressions...

Cpitch,

Thank you for posting the link.

I found the images to be a joy and a delight. Although they were taken not so far back in history, they capture what seems now to be another world.
