Why We Call People Chicken May 17, 2013

Today a couple of them ventured just a little bit further, as you can see in the video, but then in true chicken hearted fashion ran as fast as they could back inside. […]

I’m a Chicken Keeping Virgin April 25, 2013

So now we’ve started talking about what kind of chickens we will get, and where we will get them. I am nervous and trembling, almost ready to cross the threshold, but a little squeamish. We want eggs and meat. We have three growing boys at home. But when I buy a chicken the head and feet and feathers are long gone. […]

Spring Flowers April 15, 2013

Food comes from flowers, reason enough to love them. It is no superficial relationship that we have with these beauties. But beauty helps doesn't it? […]

A Unique Gem in Greenville March 22, 2013

When I'm driving around town I turn on an AM Radio and listen to non-stop music in stereo, interrupted only by brief station id's every twenty minutes or so. Sound like a dream? Not if you live in Greenville, South Carolina. I listen to WPCI Greenville, 1490 AM. […]

DARK CITY

AN EXHIBITION BY WILLIAM ECKERSLEY

6 July / 11 August 2012

Private View: Thursday 5 July 18:30 – 21:00

This summer marks a triumphant moment for London. As millions of people descend on the capital, flooding the streets and the new super-structure sports venues, the city will be the ultimate tourist attraction. Yet, in the midst of all this activity, VEGAS is looking to an alternative side of the city. Focusing on London’s most deserted and desolate spaces, DARK CITY offers a stark contrast to the glossy marketing of Olympic fervor with a documentary-style photographic presentation capturing London’s less watched moments.

The culmination of four years’ work, DARK CITY is a collection of London night-scenes. The project sees Eckersley continuing his investigation of the built environment and de-peopled cityscapes. Described by Monocle as showing “the empty humanity of England’s vast metropolis at its most vivid and alluring”, DARK CITY offers an alternative view of the capital during the Olympic frenzy.
