Back On The Golden Mile 2




All Images: Melton/Belgrave Road, North Leicester, December 2018


There's not too much to say here, beyond the fact that this is the second instalment of the extended photo-essay, commenced in my previous post.  Subject-wise, the images here all fall into the categories of either eating and drinking, hairdressing, or laundry establishments.  As I mentioned previously - pretty much every human need is catered for on Leicester's Melton Road (including at least one undertakers).

It's also the case that most of these shots continue to explore the interrelationship between commercial signage or display, the interior world behind the glass (sometimes animated by the human element), and reflected glimpses of the external world facing the establishment in question.  I really enjoy being able to capture multi-dimensional imagery like this, as a 'found' manifestation, rather than as something artificially manipulated after the event - not least for the intriguing or poetic chance juxtapositions it often affords.  Once mirrors are involved, as in several cases here - things seem to become even more interesting.
