>>3082218Cluan Place can be seen as an island of Loyalism inside of a densely populated Republican stronghold in East Belfast. Bordered on two sides by thoroughfares that are used by the working class Republicans in surrounding neighborhoods
and butting up to the Short Strand neighborhood on its other sides, it is home to only a few dozen homes and residents and has been a flashpoint for sectarian violence for decades. It's residents refuse to forfeit any ground to Republicans and likewise oppose most non-sectarian potential residents, leading to a dwindling population and unoccupied homes.
Side note for those interested: All images were Hasselblad 501c with either 50mm, 80mm, or 120mm. The first was 120mm and this is the 80mm. I shot exclusively Portra 400, all handheld, Lightmeter was a Sekonic 758. I've mentioned previously I don't carry a bag just a great jacket with pockets and a few belt pouches from ThinkTank.
