It was a Saturday evening in late January ‘18. After a day’s shooting at Preston’s former Indoor Market I sensed a spectacular sunset emerging. I legged it to the summit of the market car park. Cold and slightly knackered, I managed to compose myself and capture this shot.

Some people accuse me of portraying my home town of Preston in a bad light. I just try to document it as honestly as possible. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
I will continue to document it as I see fit.

I posted the picture on the left on New Year’s Day. I took it around 10am ish.
I got a message from the gentleman in the photo. He said that’s me stumbling home after New Year’s Eve revelry. I had previously photographed him as part of my traditional pubs series.

You can mingle freely amongst hundreds of other households in shopping centres etc, but you’re not allowed to sit at a socially distanced table for a pint.
These draconian and contradictory measures will decimate pubs. As each day passes my photos take on added poignancy.
