Terence Nunn's Photographs from 1966 to date
I first started taking photographs nearly 60 years ago, on my sister's Box Brownie No. 2. My first "real" camera was an ancient Victorian plate camera complete with wooden tripod, bought in a junk shop for thirty shillings (one pound fifty, a small fortune to a schoolboy in those days). Later, in the mid-1960s, taking advantage of technically-improved colour film, a higher income and a new Pentax SLR camera, I began wandering the deserted Sunday streets of London, photographing the offbeat, slightly surreal aspects of a still-postwar city: bomb-sites, junkyards, doomed theatres, greasy-spoon cafes and failed empty shops covered in torn posters.
Much of what I photographed then has disappeared for ever, demolished and redeveloped, like the wasteland of ruins pictured beside the Elephant and Castle Underground station in 1967, contrasting with the post-modernist shiny glass building photographed from the same spot exactly a quarter of a century later.

My photographs are exhibited by a number of online art galleries, perhaps the most well-known being www.londonart.co.uk, which has been featured by the Sunday Times newspaper and on BBC Television News. The pictures are also sold by www.photo4me.com as inexpensive digital prints suitable for framing.
