ABSTRACT

There’s one strand near all this which is that my grandmother on my father’s side was a notable photographer – having a shed down the garden and making plates and doing all that stuff. She did a lot of interesting photographic work, as my father has done also – he’s always been very interested in photography. So we used to convert the bathroom into a darkroom and process stills. Very early on I can remember looking at these things coming up in the orange light, thinking this is wonderful – this is magic!
