This remains one of all-time favourite images for many reasons.
It is about time and history, and embodies something of the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi. I first encountered this back in the 1970s, courtesy of Dr Paul Whittle at the University of Cambridge, where I was working at the time. It cropped up during a conversation with him whilst on a coffee break and I've never forgotten it. It's only in recent years that I've come to consider it in connection with my photography however.
The image above was also used on the poster for my first exhibition, Build Up, held at a photographic gallery in my old home town of Southend-on-Sea, Essex, UK.
It reminds me of a photograph by Walker Evans, that I've always admired and that was also about corrugated iron, time and erosion.
