'I thought the receding windows strange, and as the light was good I decided this picture was worth taking. This house was built at the end of the seventeenth century and the tailors Gieves & Hawkes founded in 1771. As Vigo street is narrow I had to use the wide angle 155mm lens raised to maximum height. This lens, unlike the 240mm used in the view of Queen Anne's gate has great covering power and the top of the picture is sharp as it is inside the circle of good definition' Paul Barkshire.
