Kay - Rossendale, England

Camera Nineteen

"This is Kay.

She is a small holder in Rossendale keeping cows, a horse, chickens and dogs. She is wearing 5 visible layers and the best hat I have seen in a long time , so I'm guessing she spends a lot of time outside. The sun was shining today but maybe she doesn't feel the warmth? She was up on the field walking her dogs: Merlin and a lovely spaniel whose name I can't remember. She used to be a carer in an old people's home.


I said to Kay, "I'm part of a project taking photographs of strangers. Can I take yours?"


She said, "Aye."


I said, "Do you have the internet?"


She said, "No, because it costs money to set it up doesn't it?"


I said, "Yes. It does."


She said, "I've heard it's a good thing."


I said, "Yes, and also a bad thing at times."


She said, "I've heard that, an' all."


Then we talked about how she'd checked on her cows and was now taking her afternoon constitutional."
