What a whacky world we live in !
Just had a request from a photo-group on Flickr asking if they can use one of my photographs...
Oooh, good! So, is it The Joy Division fan-club? Brides Online? The Sexy Photographers' Society?...No, it's.....
The Chinese Restaurant Worldwide Documentation Project!....Chinese chippies of the world !!!...
They saw this photo, from my new book of 1977 photographs, called Don't Miss That.
Another request was from the Ford Capri Appreciation Society!
They'd seen a shot of mine showing a Capri outside a temple in Bangkok!
Another request was for a picture of Barton Swing Bridge...!
See, there's always somebody who sees a value in a shot...any shot...and this idea from historians that "normal life" won't be recorded for posterity by today's generation is patently baloney...as the whole wwworld is FULL of images now.....and you don't have to worry about reaching frame 35 anymore, either.
Oh, and I'll have number 26 with rice please!
Came across your blog by way of manchester photography - absolutely love your pics from the 70s. It was another world.
