'to the knowledgeable silent few who have no interest in .. Photograph - Limited Edition of 200

.. self gratification that society demands' .. yoy um well um ok .. the first time i saw these words they were written on the side of a wall of a soho alleyway in one entire line so you could read them as you walked along there .. in 1993 .. so i quickly wrote it all down in my notebook pronto while holding up a friend .. without realising these words actually came from a song in the musical 'hair' from 1979 when all along i was just amazed by them .. and then years later and still none the wiser i updated it all a little then jumped up a ladder at 2am with a pot of paint and just kind of went for it there on an old disused pub opposite where i lived in kingsland road .. and then half way through a plane clothes police car pulled up with 4 normally dressed policemen, and as the drivers seat window wound down i was promptly asked what i was doing there - i said all cush and i know the owners of the pub and they gave me full permission to do all this before they do the place up in a month or so - he said ok, lets see what you're writing then - so i handed him my A5 bit of scribbled on paper i was dictating from at the time and and a minute later was told i had spelling mistakes here, here and here .. i complained about being dyslexic and all as they sped on their way with me feeling very very lucky indeed .. so the next day i decided to go back up at 4pm in broad daylight with a traffic jam overlooking and this time the only thing to occur was a guy beeping his horn from a 2CV, then opening his window to give me the thumbs up there .. so um yup, a very valuable lesson to learn of sometimes the more obvious you are the more incognito you will be .. um yup .. also the continued smaller writing underneath is all other thoughts from notebooks at the time and in all, was right fun doing this one - and eventually it did last around 2 years before indeed the pub was all refurbished and everything was replaced by a single neon sign saying 'on the rocks' .. what to do here
