in between dreams

-how much do you think I can get for this? -um, don’t know twenty quid something like that -only took me twenty minutes to make. -hey, what is it anyway? -well at night when you sleep usually all your dreams fly out the window, but when you put this up against it your dreams get caught and stay with you. -oh I see so then we can just sit on the ends of our beds and wait for our dreams to come true. I over heard this conversation during a time living in a squat with friends in London, for me these words really captured what my interest in photography is all about. The way we live our lives and the way we choose to take a certain route through life, particularly an alternative lifestyle. These images are from a series of an ongoing project photographing a part of my life, they are friends of mine, who choose to live by squatting in various buildings around London. I hope through my images that the viewer will be able to feel what I was feeling when I took the photo and see the beauty and intimacies that I see in a different way of living. The images reveal a lot more about me and my liberal view on society than they do about the people I have photographed whilst also dwelling on the friendships and closeness of communal living.
