WEEK FIVE

WEEK FIVE gives you a slight insight to the newly built South Marsh building (top) and the very old North Marsh changing rooms (bottom).

I envisage this series of portraits exhibited amongst the North Marsh changing rooms as a tribute to it's existence before its re-built. Placed amongst the showers, corridors, sinks and even toilets would not just be very suitable but I think also a very realistic and personal experience. I would like to think that it would become a visual reminder of how important referees are to the game . . . at all levels.

The Wardens

Anvram - Bradford.

My latest assignment I have just completed is celebrating 10 years of The Wardens, in association with Goodwin Development Trust: The Safer, Stronger Communities Workstream.

I spent the week with three teams of Wardens from Hull, Bradford and Denaby, documenting their day-to-day routines.

WEEK FOUR: Continued . . .

Firs Farm Playing Fields - 06/03/11

Bring back the days of a good old contact sheet! I love the mud detail on his socks . . .

WEEK FOUR

Pitch 10, East Marsh - JOHN GRIFFITH (also known as 'Biffo')

Here is a teaser image for you all. John Griffith was refereeing a cup game which went into extra time, then penalties. This was the only game left playing on the East Marsh playing fields, Hackney Marshes on Sunday 13th March.

Please stay tuned for more posts at the end of this week.

WEEK THREE

WEEK THREE of the Referee portraits was a very drizzly and wet sunday morning. I spent some of this time looking around the North Marsh changing rooms in amazement as it feels like one has gone back in time.

Soon to be re-built into a modern version of itself, I am planning to gain access and capture its nostalgic aesthetics and present them as accompanying pictures along side the Referee portraits.

WEEK TWO

Just finished another session of Referee portraits down at the Hackney Marsh playing fields. My window of opportunity to take these pictures fall just before the game, at half time or when the final whistle has gone, resulting in a lot of time to observe the game and its surroundings.
