EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "I Need a Cigarette. Guisborough, N. Yorks. 1970s," transports us back in time to an era long past. The image captures the momentary pause of two men, Robin and Dale, as they stand on a deserted street in the small town of Guisborough, located in the North Yorkshire region of England. The year is the 1970s, a time marked by social and cultural changes that would forever alter the fabric of society. The men, dressed in working-class attire, exude a sense of weariness and longing. Robin, with his furrowed brow and hunched shoulders, seems deep in thought, while Dale, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, looks off into the distance, lost in his own world. The smoky haze that envelops them adds to the mood of the scene, creating an air of mystery and intrigue. The photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of a cigarette and a moment of respite could provide a brief reprieve from the daily grind. The historical context of the image, set against the backdrop of Guisborough's charming yet faded Victorian architecture, further emphasizes the passage of time and the ever-changing nature of our world. This photograph, with its raw and unfiltered portrayal of everyday life, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the history and traditions that have shaped the world we live in today.
