I will be recreating this photograph on Sunday the 7th of December 2008 outside the ‘Fun Factory’ in 1907 celebrating the fact that the area and indeed the Clockwork Studios is still a vibrant creative community.

Here it is… 165 people, 1 dog, 1 cat and a teddy bear on 7th December 2008 at 11.42am

It’s Monday and I’m still getting over the Open Day weekend. The shoot was a great success and I swear everyone was smiling all day from the buzz.

I live in a house that used to be the offices of a famous vaudeville theatre promoter named Fred Karno. Karno was a hugely successful promoter during the early part of the last century. Many talented performers passed through his company most famously Charlie Chaplan and Stan Laurel.
