F@$%^&g NORMAL!!!

Picture 10

I spent yesterday with a couple of young offenders, aged 15 and 17, trying to teach them a bit about photography.

I was working through the Trinity centre, as I did when I was teaching the NEETS a few months ago. I didn’t have long enough with the lads to really teach them much, just to introduce them to what photography has to offer.

We decided to take a trip up to the Banksy exhibition in Bristol City museum. It is a great exhibition btw…transforms the dull and lifeless museum into something other. If you can, go take a look…but beware the queues are up to 3 and a half hours long…..!! I managed to get in past the queues due to my slippery personality :)

I will be working with another set of young offenders tomorrow, and a fair few more in weeks to come. It’s tough, but rewarding.

Upon seeing this shot for the first time, the author shouted out “That’s f*$%^&g NORMAL!!” very loudly; much to the chagrin of the dusty exhibitions officer who was festering in the corner. I didn’t think much of it, until the lads’ probation officer told me that is the highest compliment a lad his age could pay. Apparently I am also ‘normal’, as is my ancient amazon…which wasn’t until the lads realised I had a rather large sound system hidden in there somewhere…
