Keith Norris
Keith grew up in Canonbury, Islington in the 1960s when it was quieter than today, with a lot less traffic on the roads. After several years travelling in Europe he returned to London and was homeless for several years. “I was homeless from 1984 to 1992, sleeping rough on the unused railway bridge in Shoreditch. Now it’s the Overground, but in those days it had no rails and was almost impossible to get to. To get up there you had to be fighting fit.”
Grand Union Canal. "I was really trying to photograph the people who live on the barges. The day was an active day – that dynamicness. The Grand Union Canal at Victoria Park, East London. "I was homeless ... I find that I’m more settled [now]. In the past couple of years there seems to be more people homeless in worse conditions."
