Terry Piper. The Hat Man.
I had just moved to Somerset and I was thinking about a new photographic project. Fortunately I was introduced to a group of guys in a pub. One of them collected hats, he had over a hundred hats. I suggested that would love to photograph him and his hats. This answered some of the requirements I wanted from a photography project, to show the beautiful landscapes of Somerset, with portraits of Terry and his hats.

Bench In SW15
This Bench in SW15 is not a great looking bench, it doesn't even look comfortable to sit on. But every day there are different types of people who sit there. The only advantage the bench has is it faces south so it becomes the sun bench. I go past this bench in SW15 every day and I found it interesting the types of people who sat there so I decided to record some of the visitors to the bench in SW15.
