Kapitulská, Bratislava, Slovakia. November 2003.

I had a very early arrival in the city of Bratislava and spent a few hours wandering the streets as night gave way to a misty dawn. Long before the shops and cafés opened (and I was ready to commit a mortal sin for a coffee) the city’s clerics began their daily routine – as well drilled as a ship’s crew at sea. One must wonder how long the societies of eastern Europe will remain so deeply religious, with the increasing influence of western secularism.

This picture has been selected by the highly respected black and white printer Robin Bell to appear in the exhibition in London in April 2009, to celebrate his 40 years in the darkroom. I think he does come out sometimes. We all have needs.
