Marchel Duchamp
pissed here...
(Belfast, circa June 1997)
I compiled the "toilet" series on a
semi-regular basis. Men's bathrooms are generally off-limits to the
opposite sex, and in this example (at a boys grammar school -
Campbell College Belfast) to people of a certain age.
Uniform, and yet rather decadent...
This black and white print from a 35mm negative, has been tainted by
the chemicals in processing. Giving it a feel which for me has
always been in keeping with my impression of men's public toilets.

Maze
recreational
(Belfast, April 2007)
I was privileged enough to spend an
afternoon at the Maze prison in Belfast, guided round by an
ex-prisoner.
When you come from Belfast, no
matter what your political views, you can't help but be affected by
the remnants of the prison and the infamous H-blocks. I took
something like 500 frames, recording a once in a lifetime
opportunity. |

aMaze
(Belfast, April 2007)
The Northern Irish government has
advanced plans to pull down most of the prison and turn it into a
sports stadium. But the space is fascinating, and for my money ought
to be preserved as is - an eerie atmospheric shell. Let the ghosts
of the past haunt it. It doesn't need to become a political mecca.
Most striking are rooms like this -
the pool room - which could almost have been abandoned yesterday. |

Compromising
Position
(circa. April 2000)
A potentially humorous image.
I snapped these two wheelbarrows in the building area of an extension
to the hotel I was then working part-time as a kitchen porter
in. The place was a mess, and yet they kept serving food - even
after they found the asbestos in an adjacent room, separated by
a plastic sheet...
The barrows had been left by the builders in this position. To
me it speaks of the basic mechanics of sex...
