One of my photographs (seen below) is in an exhibition in Margate that opens this Friday evening.

The picture is from a set I took when I went to Margate with Tracey Emin to talk about shared memories, arts regeneration and the seafront/Dreamland. You can pop along and buy it for a bargain price: framed and everything.

A few weeks ago I went on a trip to the Isle of Wight with Martin Parr, the details of which are published in the Daily Telegraph today. The trip was run by The School of Life and was a great chance to see this concentrated slice of Britain through Parr’s eyes, as well as having a chance to meet one of Britain’s finest photographers. Parr is far more popular in Europe than he is in the UK, perhaps because the warts and all way in which he photographs people leaves us a little confused; offended even. But the Germans and the French love him for his portrayal of us Brits.
