The little girl in this photograph is forty-one years old next month. She has two children. Paula and Ian here are proud grand-parents and I'm a photographer wondering where the hell so much time has gone! Thank God I had a camera with me as it passed. It captured so much of life in the days before pronouns and mobiles and Taylor Swift. (I was going to say 'normal' life but I suppose internet-porn and 'on-demand' and shit music are normal life for kids these days!)
For those of you who still 'do' books, I'm putting together a set of five to showcase these archive photographs, and I'm pleased to say they're starting to attract interest. I've had a couple of great reviews on Amazon and tomorrow I'm being interviewed by Mike Sweeney on BBC Radio Manchester. Who knows, in another forty years, my work might be part of someone's dusty 'antique' book collection. Here's hoping!
