Publisher's Synopsis
My excursions in the City are generally unplanned and the choice of subjects results from spontaneous impressions. I may set out from the steps of St.Paul's Cathedral and go towards Bank, Bishopsgate, London Wall or Cheapside, along the way turning up the numerous side alleys which criss-cross the area. There is always new development happening in the City, and the massive girders of primary structures rise up like fantastic modernist sculptures. I like the looming buildings, their long shadows contrast with shafts of light on embellished exteriors. All this contributes to the individual character and historical flux of the 'Square Mile'. Philip James, September '02
