I shot this image while working on my Oamaru Male project many years ago in NZ. I was wandering about the annual A+P fair one evening and was drawn to the carousel by the sound of a kid wailing. I shot a dozen frames in quick succesion and then moved on, then realised I did not actually get the kids name (rather remiss as I was a news photographer at the time). Tthe image was shot on a Nikon F4s with a 24mm lens... print up to 20 x 24 on fibre base for the exhibition.

Mine is a response to a discussion we had once about people with cameras getting hassled for taking photos. So I found that T shirt and got my cow-orker to take the photo using her cellphone camera.

I find that shirt to be quite generically applicable these days.
