"I took the photos at two funfairs in Richmond upon Thames over 30 years ago in the first half of the 1980s", writes Roger Clark, the broadcaster, writer and photographer, "Cecil Beaton once said getting a new camera was like getting a new pair of eyes. That was true in the 1980s when I abandoned my medium format Rolleiflexes taking 6 x 6 cm film and turned to 35 mm. I bought an Olympus OM SLR and a tiny carbon fibre Olympus XA that was ideal for candid shots. These small cameras loosened up my work as I embarked on shooting thousands of human interest pictures – candids and environmental portraits."
