'Hufelandstrasse, 1055 Berlin' is Harf Zimmermann’s 1986–87 series of portraits of the people and places of Hufelandstrasse, a bustling neighborhood street in the heart of Berlin.
For over a year, Zimmermann photographed almost daily on the street with his large-format camera, asking shop-owners and residents if he could take their picture. Hufelandstrasse was then home to a varied cross-section of citizens of the German Democratic Republic
Everyone seemed to feel connected to the place and responsible for it, to be acting in tacit consensus and always working to save the diversity of their island from the sea of gray for as long as possible - Harf Zimmermann

“Bernie Rhodes asked me to take some photographs of these good friends who were The Clash. I went over to where they were rehearsing, and I'd no idea it was for the cover. They were natural subjects, so I really couldn’t miss.”

In 1981, aged 25, Paul Graham started his first serious project. The concept was to travel up and down the A1, the 410-mile road that stretches the length of the UK from London to Edinburgh, and capture the people and places he came across.

Here's a few of Margaret Fay Shaw images of a traditional Hebridean Halloween, South Uist, Scotland in 1932.
Margaret was fascinated with local folklore customs and in 1932 she decided to take images, still and film, of the local children as they dressed up to celebrate Halloween or Oidhche nan Cleas (‘Night of Tricks’).
Sheepskins – including the scraped-out skull and ears – were commonly used to hide the identity of a guiser. The gìsears would carry lit peats to guide them from house to house, where they gave a song or told a fealla-dha (joke) in return for a treat, usually a scone or a bannock

Scottish photographer @simonmurphy7 has been photographing the residents of Glasgow's Govanhill, highlighting and celebrating the diversity the area he once called home.
.
I will post a few of those images in this thread, if you like what you see, please give Simon a follow. 📸
When I ask, most people say yes to having their portrait taken. My interest in them is perhaps based simply on me liking the jumper or shoes that they are wearing, but it comes from within, it’s genuine, and people read you very quickly - @simonmurphy7
