"I walk. This is not just about exercise and appreciating landscape. It's about being in touch with the seasons, coping with all weathers, but most of all it is a social experience. I still remember long walks that I did 30 years ago, like the Pennine Way and the Dales Way just as vividly as more recent explorations in the White Mountains on Crete or the GR20 in Corsica. These memories are of people - companions and others met along the way, places - some delightful and some dire and events - a meal, a sunset or losing the path. Photographs and few old and battered maps are the main tangible records."
K.A - United Kingdom, Oldham

Sadness - Photograph Printed
"As early as 1951 we were regularly told to “smile for the camera”. My Dad loved taking photographs and showing them off to anyone who wanted to look – and plenty that didn’t. When I had my three wonderful children it was natural that I would continue this tradition, preserving the family memories through the alchemy of photo processing. There were photos of my daughter a couple of days old, the boys only a few short hours old and my lovely brood at the various important stages of their lives. I was meticulous at putting the best pictures in albums, adding mementos like tickets, pressed flowers, a child’s drawing and occasional journaling to prompt the memories. Then we moved to a house that needed some improvement. We stored our boxes in the garage; it seemed like a good idea at the time. It rained a great deal that winter. When we brought our boxes out of storage I discovered that the garage roof hadn’t been watertight. I cried for days when I saw those precious photographs ruined, the pages of the albums welded together from the rain. Photographs and negatives unrecognisable, my precious memories of my lovely children ruined for ever. "
G.B - United Kingdom, Worksop
