Whitaker Kids
[Dream
target date -1977]
As a young teenager I had
one of those 110-format cameras. It was a cheap plastic thing
and probably came back from a family holiday in Skegness. Normally,
cameras would only come out during the summer holidays, but
I took it to school on several occasions to capture our breaktime
lunacy. Though the quality is dubious, the pictures capture
school life in a way that no official school photograph ever
could.
These photos were originally
pasted into a photo-album that was signed and captioned by schoolfriends.
The album was circulated among our group of friends and selected
'friendly' teaching staff. Captions (usually relating to the
fictional dynasties of Ramon Frith and Kevin Smith) have been
reproduced where appropriate.
