Martin Parr

Martin Parr, one of Britain's best photographers, came in and had a chat with us.


He showed us some great photos that told his story - what his early influences were, what he's interested in and how he makes an idea happen.


Interesting facts:

- he's an avid collector of stuff (collecting is one of Russell Daives' points on how to be interesting)

- he's an e-Bay addict and is always on the look out for Margaret Thatcher memorabilia

Top quotes included:

"I am so middle-class - it's ridiculous"

And then at the end, he kindly signed K750 books (if you haven't already, take a peek at the Sony Ericsson project we did with him)

And keep a look out for Saddam Hussein watches!

I must think twice before taking any holiday in future. Well, umm...
