EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautiful brass door knocker adorning a vibrant blue door in the heart of London. The image, captured on August 30,2011, serves as a poignant reminder of the changing landscape of home ownership in England. According to the National Housing Federation's forecast, the percentage of individuals owning homes is expected to decline drastically over the next decade, plummeting to just 63.8%. This projected figure represents the lowest level since the mid-1980s. The photograph symbolizes more than just an exquisite piece of architectural detail; it encapsulates a larger narrative about the challenges faced by aspiring homeowners in modern-day England. The combination of exorbitant house prices, stringent lending criteria, and substantial deposit requirements has contributed to this decline in home ownership. Luke MacGregor's lens captures both beauty and reality simultaneously - showcasing an aesthetically pleasing brass door knocker while also shedding light on pressing issues surrounding real estate, business, and politics. As we gaze at this image, we are reminded that behind every stunning facade lies a complex story waiting to be unraveled.
