Streatham High Road is located in the South London borough of Lambeth, and it is what is locally believed to be the longest High Road in the UK and a contestant to be the longest High Road in Europe. In addition, it was voted as Britain's Worst Street in a 2002 poll by CABE (the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment).
Being part of the A23 from London to Brighton, Streatham High Road for many seems to be just a traffic choked drive-thru road on their way to their final destination, and a road with little appeal. However, by slowing down to observe, experience, and capture this part of London with my photography, I am hoping to show that it is, in fact, a perfect microcosm of multicultural Britain where an incredible mix of ethnicities share their living space.
You are very welcome to post any feedback and comments you have on this blog- I am curious to read about it! I hope you enjoy my blog about the neighbourhood I live in!
Keep this up and pretty soon Streatham High Road is going to be the place to be seen.

Hello Susanne,
ReplyDeleteI really like your photos, they are so brilliant in colours, composed almost like a great painting. I like your playing with light and shadow. And the way you compose achitecture and people. I like your portrays, too.
Your sister Gaby told me about your photography business. And I was very curious. You are true, lyou can't compare the mulicultural life of London with that of the small little town in the mountains of rural Germany. Good luck, you have a good look.
Liebe Grüße Susanne Pieper-Ghazanfari, Lippstadt, Germany
