As an MP member, I was worried how my days would materialise.
The chances of my being `free' and having the kind of light I like
were slim. I also have a schedule of
historical happenings and events throughout this year and if
chances of all three being right were unlikely. But I have to
produce an image, so my idea of a structured shoot has moved
to second place.
My first scheduled day to shoot wasn't a `free' day or the `right kind of light' day. I spent the day at the family home, which is being sold, and I was cleaning it up and photographing it for a personal project. A few of those images are here.
The house is in Luton, twenty miles outside the M25, so none of those images could be used for the MP. But as the day wore on `I saw the image, no question in my mind. The problem of it being in Luton was easy to resolve; it wasn't screwed down.
I had run across two small, insignificant, even sort of `silly' items - but they both brought back a flood of childhood memories. I brought them home with me to London - well inside the M25 - and was immensely pleased with the way I captured them on film. It was an MP day.
