		<description><![CDATA[Photographer Jon Nicholson: "Some people say that with the advent of digital comes the death of photojournalism, but I don’t agree with the statement at all. To prove that a photographer must have "the eye," and not just good gear, I started to shoot a series of pictures on my SX70 Polaroid camera that dates back to the 1970's." I really loved these pola's, they make me smile. Today is one of the first sunny days in 2011 in Amsterdam and I think Jon's wonderful polaroids are the perfect start of the weekend. Go check them out!]]></description>

They are a snapshot of contemporary Britain that perhaps some wish not to see and yet at its heart is a story of young people who feel forgotten in a city they feel is not theirs and of a young man of eighteen called 'Fire.' Already in his short life, 'Fire' (he refuses to use his ‘government name’) has been homeless, a gang member and now a father to a son who he hopes will not live a life like his.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the child of a foster parent, my life has been shaped and informed by an ever-changing family unit. This experience lies at the heart of my work. The photographic series "So Much Past" explores various viewpoints of the care system. I felt a desire to seek out those surrounded by, involved in or working in the system to ask questions that I myself have found difficult to answer. I invited carers, social workers and young people involved with foster care to respond to a series of questions. The resulting portraits stem from the dialogue between the subject and myself.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are more than five million Afghan refugees, mostly living in Pakistan and Iran. Some escape these countries and leave for Europe by putting their lives in the hands of people smugglers. Almost 70,000 refugees are believed to be in the UK, and a majority of which reside in London. Some arrive safely, some get caught by authorities, and some die along the way. This treacherous journey involves passing through most of Europe where they travel by land – hiding in trucks and trains, and by sea –smuggled in tankers. I met four such men who had taken this very route and now live in London.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Martin Amis on his series Racing Seen: One of my fondest childhood memories is my regular trips horseracing with my father. I loved to watch the horses race, but I loved even more to watch the strange men betting on them. As a boy of less than ten years of age, I would follow my father around the betting ring, looking up at this motley cast of characters placing their bets, as I tried to make sense of the surreal world I had become part of. The stench of beer, tobacco and sweat filled the air. The bookmakers’ chants of the latest odds, cut through the hubbub of  lively conversation.    I loved every moment.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My work is based around two separate theories, firstly the theory that people often attract partners that look similar to themselves. Secondly that when two people have been in a relationship for a substantial amount of time they often begin to look even more similar. In a relationship partners will often mirror each other's facial expressions thus over time creating similar muscle patterns and lines on both partners faces. I selected couples at random who had been together for various different time spans to see if similarities would be more evident in couples that had been together for longer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I began taking photographs when I was a young soldier and at a time when I knew little about photography. I just had this urge to document what was going on around me.

I have now been out of the British Army over 15 years, but it is an area that still dominates my photographic practice and my imagination.

As part of this ongoing interest I have chosen to document the after-effects of conflict and the knock-on consequences back home in the UK.

From severe injuries of war to the problems of homelessness and social exclusion, I hope that this work questions notion of what it means to enlist to serve ones country, and what is left for servicemen at the end of this dangerous and altruistic act.]]></description>

In this series I have tried to paint patterns or make shapes that would encourage the participant to hold themselves or act in a certain way. It is important that all the props and text are in the shot so that the subject can interact with them.

The cardboard acts as cartoon-like element exaggerating the things that are already there, making the invisible visible or just simply transforming an everyday setting into a DIY fantasy world.]]></description>

His chosen subject matter is deliberately low-key and often domestic in nature: the washing up, his Dad’s office, charity shops, car boot sales. And yet, his work extracts something profound and consistently beautiful, the sense of a natural order in ordinary things, or, as Shafran says ‘an acceptance of how things are’ (source: Steidl).]]></description>
