go to zeitgeits on holloway road because all sex shops should have names like zeitgeist, ask them what goes on in their basement…i’ve heard rumours.

Hello. Please could you visit Clissold Park. I’ve never seen it before. I suppose there will be some trees there. If you could make a decision as to which is the best tree in the park and then photograph it for me, that would be much appreciated. Only if you don’t have more fun places to go though.

go to the new river walk just off st. paul’s road. the river was completely green the last time i was there. it’s a beautiful little quiet chill out spot where lots of teenagers go to make out and smoke stolen cigarettes.

also come to art rocker tonight. it’s free artrock right by highbury roundabout.

hola manita

i’ve never been to highbury (at least i don’t think so). i’m interested in identity, migration, diversity, borders - please take a picture that you find reflects some aspect of this in highbury.

I have two architectural photographs that my aunt took in 1971, one is of Mildmay Park Station, it was on Newington Green Road, could you see if it’s still there.
The other, is of two sphinxes next to a front door on Northchurch Rd N1, if you find them could you take another photo, they were in a delapidated state then

I like highbury corner, it’s not much to look at but in the middle of a hectic junction there is an isolated plot that has been left undeveloped since it was bombed during the second world war, 25/30 people lost their lives and over 100 were injured. I’ve never jumped the fence and stood in there, but I’d like to think if I did it would somehow be silent.
So make the dash one night, take a long exposure and by so doing vanish the noise.

on a lighter note reinact the start of Four Weddings and a Funeral with Hugh Grant trying to hail a taxi on the ‘Corner’

and even lighter and non related, Mr. Bean lives in highbury…. so photograph anyone who can be seen to be wearing a tweed jacket or driving a green mini!

oh, and also, documet anything with ‘Arsenal’ on it (tube station, stadium). Arsenal as a place does not realy exist and there may come a day when people dont remember…

go for a drink at the hope & anchor, i think its on upper street off the roundabout. they might have some bands on if its the weekend. loads of young bands start out playing there so you may see a band of the future, or just a load of crap bands. they’ve probably got framed posters and flyers of big bands they had play there in their early days.

I don’t know anything about Highbury so I can’t give you any specific locations but I think there must be lots of businesses and things with really spurious football related links so that might make an interesting collection of images.
