I was very inspired by these two aspects. SIXSIXSIX refers to the number of misfortune. By that I mean in terms of what I’ve encountered in my life up to now. After my illness came the Biafra War; millions of people died, and I was fortunate to be saved. I went to the Central African Republic where I experienced the conflicts of 2014, in which I also could have died. […] For all that I’ve been through, God has been with me and saved me. […] In the end, it’s about buried emotions that we ourselves create, and about exorcizing my own resentment in the face of this situation. From 1976 to 2014, I have never been at peace in my life when faced with the actions of those who always sow misfortune among children and innocents.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steidl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45522558288130,"sku":"BK-STE-SFSSS-001-K","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/files\/IMG_0343_aa889df8-8e28-4567-b5b8-0e7e8718de49.jpg?v=1731169215"},{"product_id":"robert-voit-new-trees","title":"Robert Voit: New Trees","description":"\u003cp\u003eRobert Voit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover | \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e25.91 x 2.03 x 31.5 cm | 152 pp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteidl | 2014 | 9783865218254\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-cel-widget=\"bookDescription_feature_div\" data-csa-c-id=\"a9vuyc-qii1um-c3289p-m3svii\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-asin=\"3865218253\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"bookDescription_feature_div\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"bookDescription\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-feature-name=\"bookDescription\" class=\"celwidget\" id=\"bookDescription_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-collapsed-height a-row a-expander-container a-spacing-base a-expander-partial-collapse-container\" data-a-expander-collapsed-height=\"280\" data-a-expander-name=\"book_description_expander\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content\" data-expanded=\"false\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRobert Voit has discovered a new species of plant that he calls “new trees”―cellular phone antennae of steel, fibreglass and plastic, camouflaged as trees.

Through that I got to know the Community Development Project (CDP) in Saltley – a Home Office project that looked at the causes of inner city deprivation. They were looking for a photographer and at that time I was busy on the magazine so I recommended Nick Hedges who went on to take some great pictures for them in 1977.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThen in 1977 the CDP were planning their final reports and asked me if I wanted to design and produce them. This was the impetus for me to set up an agency called Sidelines, Broadside – Sidelines, it wasn’t my greatest naming idea. The CDP work took a while to get going and so my first work was for Handsworth Law Centre. When the CDP reports began landing in 1978 Derek Bishton joined me after leaving the Birmingham Post where he had been Deputy Features Editor. We had Nick’s pictures but to do the reports justice we needed more so I shot the images in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eIn 2012 a researcher at Nottingham University called David Parker, who was brought up in nearby Washwood Heath, found the CDP Reports and approached Nick and I and we ended up running a Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) project called Saltley Stories based on our images. The project was led by Norton Hall Children and Family Centre which is based in the building seen in one of the pictures. Amazingly we found many of the people who we photographed anonymously over thirty years before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eOf course times had changed and now it would not be so easy to photograph people on the street as people are more aware of how images can be used and want to know why you are taking pictures. And photographing children on the street without permission is frowned upon. During the HLF project I was running a photographic project with students from a local secondary school and was taking pictures of them from across the street when a car stopped and the driver shouted “why are you photographing children.” To be fair he was happy when I explained what we were doing and the school the students were from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eSaltley remains a vibrant community centred on Alum Rock Road on or near where these images were taken. The community is still made up of many people from the Mirpur region of Azad Kashmir in Pakistan many of whom were displaced by the building of the Mangla Dam in the area. - \u003cstrong\u003eBrian Homer 2019\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003ca style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booksaboutart.co.uk\/collections\/cafe-royal-books\"\u003eView more Café Royal Books\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Café Royal Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46798828372226,"sku":"BK-CRB-BHSB-001-H","price":5.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/files\/IMG_0629_2bacc977-7ff4-44ab-a83e-c981169bec25.jpg?v=1759750323"},{"product_id":"daniel-meadows-free-photographic-omnibus-portraits-1973-1974","title":"Daniel Meadows: Free Photographic Omnibus - Portraits 1973–1974","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoftcover | 14 X 20 cm | 36 pp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCafé Royal Books | 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eIn 1972, as a student at Manchester Polytechnic, I began experimenting with ways of doing documentary work with people, not to them.
