Southampton

[squirmelia]

I wondered which Southampton was more real - the city with sunsets, glistening pools and colourful street art that I had taken photos of, or the Southampton from my undergrad days, when I spent my days and nights in front of a computer or standing on my head in lecture theatres, or at the Dungeon, drinking and dancing and kissing pretty long-haired guys, or the more recent version: days spent in offices gazing out of windows looking for rainbows, occasional evenings spent in random pubs having long conversations with fascinating people, and weekends sometimes containing art exhibitions and exploring the city, but more often than not, trying to escape. Perhaps none of them were the Southampton I lived in really.

"The cities London, Manchester and Birmingham re real. The city Southampton is a mystical experience shared by everybody. Demolish"

There is a lot, or at least a little moreto Southampton than meets the eye, or even the camera lens.

Obviously the real Southampton is one where people dance through the middle of the city singing "Heads Shoulders Knees and Toes" and doing all the actions. Any other Southampton would just be wrong.

Gratuitous poetry opportunity...

In the real world
As in dreams
Nothing is quite
What it seems

You really are the most splendid photographer. Nice to see you're still here. :)
