    Travelling: Tickets I Have Known.

    I have been a traveller since the early Seventies, beginning in England, travelling and working in Wales and Scotland, exploring Northern Ireland and, later, Ireland. At a young age I made my first trip overseas to France where, mouth open in amazement, I discovered that the French, and other European foreigners, looked and acted much the same as we did on our small island. My first trust issues, especially of a specific teacher in my North Yorkshire school, began to surface.

    Friendship

    It doesn't matter where you are, the signs are clear: friends out together. Two people, sharing time and experiences. It is said that women can hold far better friendships to one another than men can, but with the caveat that each has its own level, its own expectations, and often its own gender specifics.

    Can You See Us?

    Yesterday I commented on my own presence, and whether I, as a Street Photographer, was seen by those who I photographed, or whether I could blend in and simply disappear from view. Which led me to wonder how many other people there are on the streets who we do not see.
