Welcome all to my blog! The theme "City Dwellings" is explored through photographs capturing either the aspect or essence of the urban. One of the most obvious points to note about cities is that they are homes to lots of people! Indeed, housing forms is the most substantive land use within cities.

How do people choose where to live?
Why are city populations sorted according to social criteria like class and race?
Which groups are able to manipulate the geography of the city?

The answers to these questions and more will be communicated through my photography.....
stay tuned!
