I'm in Glasgow for the opening of the Nationhood: Memory and Hope exhibition at @StreetLevel_. This is the fourth + final stop of the national tour. Ill be part of a Walk-and-Talk this afternoon. I look forward to welcoming you. The photograph is one from Manhattan, NYC. Glasgow has a NYC vibe. All that's missing is the dirty water hot dog stands.

This is what happens when you co-produce a portrait and interview a young person every year. Felix now 15 with portraits of him at 15, 14, and 13. I work with 25 young people annually, making portraits/interview them as artist in residence for Age of Wonder @BiBresearch

@JoanneRCoates This is absolutely wonderful Jo x

Finally caught up with my friend and fellow photographer @shotbyshaun . Always appreciated for the support he gives myself and the group @Gallery365photo .

Year three - Age of Wonder - Teenage Stories behind the scenes . Studio day with portrait sittings and interviews. It is wonderful to be able to create portraits and interviews 25 young people, over 7 years. To I worked in my studio with Felix, Kitty and Lucy. @BiBresearch

4/4 to cont. working with young people to tell their stories, Through Our Lens continues in diifferent ways. The work has become part of the photographic collections @BradfordMuseums , exhibited at Impressions and seen across the world. More to see here throughourlens.co.uk

3/4 the impact of the pandemic for many young people still has an effect on their lives. Grateful I was able to work in this way- there was nothing in the emerging visual narrative at that time that told their story. Glad now to be artist in residence with @BiBresearch

1/4 Five years ago I set up - Through Our Len’s - for young people 12-20 in Bradford district to tell their stories about their lives during the pandemic. With no previous photography experience - their amazing work went viral. Now archived by @BradfordMuseums please watch
