When John "Hoppy" Hopkins first picked up a camera as a youth it never occurred to him that half a century later the results would frequently be described as 'iconic.' His energy and curiosity, his restlessness and audacity, led him to explore the many lives being lived along Sixties' London's creative edge.
This collection of photographs covers the full range of his subjects - spontaneous, revealing studies of jazz and rock legends, stark observations of low life, fond meditations on long-lost cityscapes. Essays be four friends and co-conspirators provide a rich texture of personal and historical detail.
