These three girls saw me with my cameras taking pictures - somewhere in
Battersea, perhaps at Latchmere House, a small block of council flats at
the corner of Abercombie St and demanded that I take their picture. But
they were hyperactive and although I took two frames, at least one is moving
on both.
I'm not too good at guessing ages, but I think they would now be around
50. I often wondered when I took pictures like this - it was usually easier
to do so than to refuse - why they wanted me to take their pictures when
they would never get to see them. Often they thought I was 'from the papers'
and they wanted their small piece of fame, though I always denied being
a press photographer. I think this is probably the first time that I've
published this picture and I wonder if any of the three will see it.
