 Thirty years ago I was walking past this billboard with friends and said, ‘Stand there and give her a snog.’  What do you think?  Not just about the photo but of my part in setting it up?

I don't have a problem with you setting it up, Chris. It's no different to you seeing a billboard advertisement and then standing in exactly the right place and waiting for ages for someone to walk into the shot. To me that's just as contrived and perfectly legit.

Did Doisneau set up 'Kiss'? Do we really care?

And many of your pictures are of the reaction you get from people when they see a photographer, so you're playing a part in that image, too.

But as for your mate's white jeans, there's no excuse for that!

Thanks for that constructive critique Martin and I agree I think the jeans were the biggest problem. In his defence they were fashionable then and I might have had a pair myself. On the other hand I think they looked better on his girlfriend!

Matthew. He was a hospital porter for a while and lived near the hospital I think. Cannot remember her name.
