This is a story about serendipity, generosity, community, and several rolls of Ilford FP4 film. It begins in April 2020, during our first Covid-19 lockdown when a request from a sibling for an old family photo led me to dig around in my messy 35mm archive. I discovered quite a few forgotten negatives and slides from my life during the 1970’s, when I was young and single. They had been randomly stored and dragged around in house moves whilst I focussed on marriage, motherhood and a career in Social Work. E...

How It Began
When Covid-19 started, I had just made plans to follow the Bristol Roller Derby team around the UK to shoot their games. I suddenly had no focus for my photography and I wanted to make sure that I had a project to work on. I also wanted to do something with the LGBTQ+ community. In Bristol and had been photographing a friend during their transition. I thought, maybe as lockdown lifts people will want to get out and have their portraits taken. And that is how the idea for the project came about...
It was a sunny Sunday afternoon so I decided to take a walk to Alexandra Park, south of Manchester city centre. A cricket match was under way when I wandered through the park gates and I settled down near the boundary with an ice cream to watch. The batsmen were well on top and quite a few sixes and fours whizzed by. All the players looked Pakistani and as I lay there I listened to the waiting batsmen chatting in Urdu.
At four o’ clock forty overs were up, and six wickets were down for 256 runs.Â...
