Ed Fordham: September 2011
http://474towin.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 27 September 2011. Dust down and get going again. At the risk of an analogy of a relaunch of a relaunch, I am yet again coming round the to revitalising of this blog of mine. Work and interests and family and life generally have taken over and it's time to draw this all together and get writing again. As a context I am reading a lot again which is great fun and will be putting up some of this in the blog. So - deep breath- time to get writing and posting proper I think. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Ed Fordham: August 2010
http://474towin.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, 23 August 2010. Pawn to King 4. The picture to the right is my favourite picture of this trip. The concentration, the wisdom and the sheer humaity. There is something curiously attractive, fascinating and civilised about street games between adults - in this instance street chess. This one appeals for me as a chess player of course, but nonetheless I do find it interesting how quickly a crowd gathers around street games like this. Don't just top-up your water bottle. So I'm going into these mosqu...

Ed Fordham: October 2010
http://474towin.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, 17 October 2010. I hesitated before I wrote my review of Enlightenment. It's consumable, not over intellectual but actually pretty provocative and thoughful - combining shocking with watchable. The staging is very sharp and clever - minimal, clean, simple and yet feel innovative and modern. For my own part I found the extent to which the end was unknown pretty strong - the imagery was very clever (a simple bed sheet for goodness sakes), but it took a series of difficult family realities and broug...

Ed Fordham: Save the streetscape - surely???
http://474towin.blogspot.com/2011/05/save-streetscape-surely.html
Tuesday, 10 May 2011. Save the streetscape - surely? One of the main features of this blog is to capture the local area today, draw out the local area of yesterday through surviving history - I soon found however that the pace of change was such that quite often I captured it today and within a matter of weeks and months it had already changed. Some of the features of the blog in the early days have already gone. Labels: Alan Camp Architects. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Local paper: Ham and High.

Ed Fordham: November 2010
http://474towin.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 30 November 2010. The pride of the local trader. It's nought special but sign of a time long gone. This one is from Hampstead High Street and is the entrance to a shop long changed - but I've noticed these down West End Lane, Finchley Road, Kilburn Lane and along the Kilburn High Road . This one refers to Stamp the Chemist - frequent advertiser in old newspapers - but now gone. I wondered when these ceased to be installed and when fashion for the mosaic style kicked in.
