Some the photos that didn't come out on the disposable camera were those done at Holborn. I expressly wanted shots of the station fascias for the lovely mummies and other chunks of art we Brits have nicked from other cultures and locked up in the British Museum.
When I arrived the only person to ask to do the platform shot, as the station was quite empty, startled me on my approach over by yelling (and I mean YELLING) 'pink hair, pink hair, PINK HAIR' rapidly like a mantra, followed by 'oh yeah, that's it man'. More than likely this was some kind of involuntary tourettish affliction, but decided his jittering would not make for a clear shot, and he was being a bit leary...
I want to use these images as the base for some 'thread drawing' embroideries. The originals are not black and white, and I am want to use the multiple layers of reproduction in the piece, things being lost in translation....
