In 1979 I had a grant from the Scottish Arts Council (as was) to live and work on the Wester Hailes estate and work with kids at the new local school. This boy somehow managed to balance on his 'Grifter' bike for a better view of the Gala Day celebrations. This work was recently published as a book, available here:

My work, in one form or another, is at the National Portrait Gallery, Tate Britain Library, the National Art Library at the V&A, the V&A Museum of Childhood, Liverpool Museum, la Bibliothèque Nationale de France and the Library at the University of California, San Diego.

I've been a freelance documentary photographer since leaving art school in 1968.
