He said, "Firstly, Let me apologise for the quality, it was taken at 1:30 AM or something like that, after walking home from a friends house, off my phone, which isn't brilliant, but, this picture, pretty much means a lot.
This is 'Gap' I walked through this everyday to get to school, even though there was a normal footpath like 5 metres away. Not until I was in my final year, this turned into a 'metaphor' for me, since, I realised it was a social class thing, since I met my friends here, when we went to school, and when we just mucked about. The importance of this to me is that in the distance, it's a middle class area, and behind me is the working class area, per say, and this tiny path way, acting as a 'barrier' between the two social classes, until recently.
Since the 'working classes' saw them as the posh snobby middle classes, whilst the middle classes didn't even know the name of the estate, but to us kids, through immaturity and naivety, it mattered not."
