This is the first book in the series of seventeen

'Fire Escape'

Urban and Rural: Images and Poems, are the result of a joint collaboration between long term friends, Brady Kent (Poems) and John Ashton (Images)

This is the second book in the series.

Seen by some as dirty and ugly, the urban images are also graphic, geometric, stark, haunting and beautiful.

By contrast, the rural scenes are very different to the 'chocolate box images' we often see. Much of nature is old, decrepit, redundant and abandoned.

Each image seems to have a different story to tell, way beyond what we normally expect.

'Gotham City' is a surprise, whilst 'Empty Offices' explores an everyday issue. In 'Last of the snow' we read about a crime passionnel and an old lady who 'no longer wanted to live and cry'

'I love a New York street scene, the balcony used in West Side Story. The retelling of a famous affair, between Juliet and her lover, Romeo.

A dark passage in San Fransisco, for Bogart to reach Russian Hill. Audrey and George in love, slipping out of the party before the cops break in, by escaping over a window sill.

Dreary, one dimensional, clean and recently painted indoor stairs and escalators.

They hold no attraction for me, no romance, no heritage, no iconic film scenes. They have not earned an applause.'
