Intimate Strangers

A BBC photographer embarked on a project to talk to, ”… people you see every day but never meet. Urban living is full of these close encounters where we never make contact.”

Tony, from London, had the following to say, “Oh, stop it, you touchy-feely freak! I live in London precisely because people here are NOT overly intimate. I like the fact that I walk amongst strangers, I love the fact I am not subject to tedious drivel from people who happen to impinge upon my geography. If you want to know your neighbours, go live up North or something - stop assuming we all want to be like you.”
