Curse those strangers and their cameras capturing life around Brixton.I remember the good old days when you could pass out in a bar in Brixton and not worry about photographic evidence being published by strangers

Did you ask them if they minded you photographing them and placing the photo on a public board? How would you feel if somebody photographed you in a similar state and placed the photo on a public board?

Right here is another classic example of the kind of dull personal shit that is destroying this forum. People post up similar photos all over the web, but you and the equally tedious teuchter have only now decided it is objectionable because you think you've found yet another way to attack me.
If you wish to discuss the merits of this common and entirely legal style of reportage - the sort you'd normally no doubt enjoy so long as it's not me taking the pictures - then start a discussion in the photography forum because I'm not joining in with your petty and pathetic point-scoring bullshit.

So with Kaff now gentrified out of the neighbourhood, I tried Parissi, a bit further up the road.
To quote Radiohead, everything was in its right place - the décor and the fittings were exactly what you might expect and the same goes for the cakes and coffee (all very good) - but that's also its biggest drawback.
It could be absolutely anywhere. There was no sense of 'Brixton-ness,' quirkiness or individuality, just a standard, well appointed trendy coffee shop/bar.

But you posted the photo here so it's reasonable for us to question it here, no?
What point are you hoping to make by posting this photo?
From this can we assume you would be happy to be photographed in a similar state and the photo placed on a public board? I would not be happy for this to happen to me and if it did I would like an explanation from the paparazzi style photographer as to what point was being made by posting such a picture.

A few photos of Small World Urbanism green plant boxes they have put outside the Rec.
Had a chat with them. After getting kicked out of Number 6 Somerleyton road they now have found a new home with Remakery. They are making these plant boxes to be put around bits of Brixton.
They are looking for more artists to paint them.
They have started up a recycling service in conjunction with Remakery.

No, It is not. The content of my post was entirely on topic with the theme of this thread: i.e. Brixton news and general chat.
If you wish to discuss your sudden interest in the ethics of reportage photography, then start a thread in the photo forum otherwise it looks like you're just trying to find a new way to attack me. And that behaviour has to stop.

Had enough of this pathetic baiting. Poster warned.

Hardly getting over it.
May I recommend that you research the rights of photographers and their subjects? There's a nice long thread on the photography forum of this board.Reading it would prevent you asking stupid questions.

One night in ’82 or ’83 I went to the original Fridge with Pete, one of my flatmates.
That particular night the only beer they had was draught Special Brew, which we drank all night with horrible consequences.
I’m not sure what happened to Pete, but I woke up in the Ritzy at 8 am, at the end of one of their all-nighters, having pissed myself for the only time outside infanthood.
Ah, happy days.......................

Generally, and for what it is worth, the IPSO editors' code of practice states:
iii) It is unacceptable to photograph individuals in private places without their consent. Note - Private places are public or private property where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy.

Photo forum -->
You could maybe chat about this award winning photographer's work there. Or this one.

This is for Press not for an internet board.

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
School holidays?
Sounds a great night,although I must say drinking pints of SB frightens me more than a little.As I say my memory is shot but do you mean the Fridge down by the cop shop or the bigger one.I think '82 was before my time although about that time I was working to make the balcony in the big Fridge usable.By the way the beer companies paid for the coolers to be installed with the idea of getting the money back from beer sales,most of it came from others sources mainly the frontline offie. Walking past quite recently the same condensers are on the outside of the building and I guess the beer companies are still footing the bill.
E2A: when the restaurant opened they got a huge coffee machine free from a coffee distributor with the idea they'd make the money back by selling them coffee,in fact the coffee came from the cheapest cash source.Same with the soft drink guns free installation but then they bought the syrup from the cheapest cash source.
