In 1973 Colin Jones was commissioned by the Sunday Times Magazine to document 'The Black House', a north London hostel on the Holloway Road in Islington. Officially the Harambee housing project, it was a government funded local community initiative, which aimed to provide rehabilitation and support for disillusioned black adolescents, who experienced prejudice and problems in education, employment and the law.

Ivan Terestchenko

During a spot of blog reading recently I came across a lovely elegant blog entitled Little Augury which you can look at here if you like.

I was attracted to an interview with photographer Ivan Terestchenko and surprised to see that he's responsible for one of my favourite interior shoots of the last couple of years. That of Australian fashion designer Martin Grant's Parisian apartment. I've even kept the copy of Vogue Interiors from 2005. I love the way that Terestchenko picks up on small objects like Grant's childhood drawings and the interior of his fridge.... which apparently wasn't staged.
