Deacon Brodie

Edinburgh, Scotland, 2005: Deacon Brodie, was a Scottish cabinet-maker, deacon of a trades guild, and Edinburgh city councillor, who maintained a secret life as a burglar- partly for the thrill, and partly to fund his gambling.

A week after moving […]

We turned the car around and followed the shuffling figure, thinking they must have just been let out for the day. I got out of the car and approached […]
