Slide 9: Hi, I've started a project to photograph the many 'ghost signs' (www.wordspy.com/words/ghostsign.asp) that can be found around London. These are the faded evidence of old advertisements that were once painted directly onto the brickwork of buildings, sometime for products such as Gillette or Black Cat Cigarettes and sometime for the shop that could be found inside the building. I've attached some of the pictures I have already taken but am asking for your help to try to find more of these fading rareties. If you happen to notice one (you will often need to look up at the buildings around you) then please let me know where it is and give as much detail as possible (e.g. street name, number, text on sign etc). Or, if you have a camera, then take a picture and email it to me! Depending on how well things go then I might see if I can try to get something published. I'm currently doing some research into the history of them so any leads on this would also be helpful. Also, forward to anyone else who might be able to help or who might also have an interest in this project. Thank a million! Sam
