'What Would You Save' by Martin Parr

A crafty shot I took at a Martin Parr Private View at Strand Gallery last night. Parr's recent Oxfam commission - 'What Would You Save' - highlights how climate change is currently affecting people in the Mekong Delta. There's a You Tube clip here and a piece on the Guardian website showing portraits from Vietnam and a series shot with celebrities in the UK. Grayson Perry's portrait (with teddy/"living god", Alan Measles) features in the show.
