Camden- Not just for Meth Addicts


Camden, Philadelphia, is a horror show. Camden, London, is a horse show! Of sorts. After stepping off the tube and taking an immediate turn north the town of Camden slowly delivers what its' reputation promises you. A punk scene full of punk things to do. Like guitar circles that praise Joe Strummer by getting high and singing his songs. Or people with enough balls to pull off a mohawk. Fuck mohawks! In Camden you'll see anything from bleach-blond cornrows hanging to the floor all the way to any kind of piercing that you 'Can't take home to mum!' Walk far enough and you'll come across Kentish Town Road which will lead to a bridge overlooking a "lock." The Camden Lock. Home of the middle-aged punks who should have stopped scaring kids years ago. Wander down to the water and you come across a walkway along the lock's canal. For night time photographers, you're probably kicking yourself at this point because you forgot a tripod and the sun is setting. Luckily I brought mine instead.
