Thomas Pemberton

I grew up along the river that loops through the old city, and I still know which bank gives the best reflection of the timbered houses leaning over the water. On camera I keep low near the water's edge rather than shooting from the bridge, since the angle changes everything about how a leaning building reads. I plan evening calls around the pubs that have barely changed in centuries, keeping the noise honest rather than staged. Regulars ask which building is actually the oldest, and the honest answer is more complicated than the plaques suggest.
