Working from home
An intriguing photo thought to have been set up by architect Barry Shaw using a tripod and timer to show his working environment. Both he and his partner Atalia are shown heavily dressed in an attempt to keep warm with only a simple electric fire in the back room at the top of 12 Tolmers Square. His desk is dominated by a stereo. on which he would play music by Little Feat, Ry Cooder and other blues artists. The sewing machine was more for visual affect than function.
