#MYLDNBK is back!

My MYLDN book came out a year ago this week and like so many other things that were on the forward drive at the beginning of 2020 it came to a crashing halt as Covid landed. I ain’t bleeting about it. Its just one of a billion stories of lost momentum. Anyways, the Tate recently re-opened and I was delighted to see it was still being sold in the shop and even more delighted to see this young lady perusing it and enjoying it. She even called her boyfriend over to have a lookey at it.

I took this pic and luckily she didn’t notice because she was so engrossed in the book. Win win! She didn’t actually buy it so not quite a win win win but even though it didn’t end in a sale this was by far my favourite MYLDNBK moment since it got published. There is nothing better than watching some random enjoy your work with them having no scooby about it.

So one year on, and in spite of one gi-normous global pandemic ‘MYLDN – a streetview of London Life’ is still available in all good book shops and online. Link here if you wanna get one…

“Babycakes Romero is committed to doing whatever it takes in his pursuit of documentation. He has no hesitation to put himself in the firing line to get the shot. He is willing to risk everything . He is the Don McCullin of West London. A war photographer on the streets of London, just without the war bit.”

S J Levene, film director.

“This is the first in a series of mini ‘docs’ where we give you a no holes barred expose of the reclusive photographer that is Babycakes Romero. We were granted exclusive access and he allowed himself to be filmed for the first time ever.  We will take you behind the scenes, to show you his unconventional methods, his radical style and will ultimately reveal why this camera shy photographer is hiding in the shadows of his own exposures. We bring you the man behind the myth. The man behind the made up name.”

Simon J Levene, director (Tube Poker)
