"The British don't really collect photography," said the English curator Jules Wright at her famed Wapping Project Gallery where she was opening a photography exhibition by Stephen J. Morgan. "Americans understand photography, the British understand conventional, landscape painting." Morgan's work, however, is far from conventional. The photographer grew up on a council estate (the English equivalent of a project) in Birmingham and now shoots haunting and colorful images from the neighborhood he grew up in. Pictures of a deflated kiddie pool and an abandoned toy gun in grass are both quiet and strangely soothing, and exhibit Morgan's closeness to his subject matter. "The best piece of advice I ever got," Morgan said, " was to shoot what you know."
