I had half an hour to kill this morning so used the time to photograph M by Montcalm. I like this building because of how it sits with its neighbours and deliberately disrupts a very hectic part of London to create a visual punctuation. . . . . . #architecture #architecturalphotography #streetphotography #iknow #fujifilmgf30mmf56ts #forcedperspective #opticalillusion #moorfieldseyehospital #fujifilm #gfx100s #oldstreet #cityroad #mbymontcalm @squirepartners

I was looking for a slightly longer shift lens for my Fujifilm GFX cameras. I got carried away on the train and wrote down my thoughts.

This composition was influenced by a situation I found myself in while shooting for the Wire magazine. Around the beginning of the millennium I traveled to Genoa to photograph Philip Corner. In the evening there was to be a performance by Philip. After the shoot and before the guests arrived for the event I was given a private performance by Philip. The room had been set up with rows of chairs in an amazing double height room with marble floors. Before Philip started he began to move the chairs I remeber thinking how nice the sound was but thought I should get up and help him make space, as I got up Caterina Gualco, Philips gallerist grabbed my arm and pulled me back into my seat, she whispered “It’s started” Link to the full track in Bio! . . . . . #philipcorner #phoebeneville #fluxus #composition #contactmic #soundrecording #caterinagualco @thewiremagazine #italy #genoa #unimedia #unimediamodern @spaziounimediage @archivio_gualcocaterina
