New negs

A couple of weeks ago I helped out my friend and fellow 'tog Greg Funnell on an editorial shoot. The brief was to photograph the section of the Metropolitan Police that provides security for the building site that will soon be the 2012 Olympic Park. I carried the lights.

Having run through the brief and loaded the van we were only a couple of minutes into our journey when the police vehicle in which we were traveling was diverted to attend an RTA.

The moped - on fire and wedged beneath the truck's petrol tank - had crashed while overtaking, throwing its rider into the middle of a junction where he lay with what appeared to be a broken leg.

I took these on my M6 and have kept them fairly small for the sake of the injured man.

While on the Olympic site itself I couldn't help but think of Stephen Gill's work, especially his book Archeology in Reverse, which documented the Olympic Park site before the building work got underway.

The last shot shows the frame of the Aquatic Centre.
