THIS IS MY LIFE cont'd

One of the residents, Andrew, had no old photos, no family and few friends that visited him but he loved to walk. So I accompanied him on his walks and we began to build his first ever photo album. He took some of the photos but the main thing Andrew discovered was that he loved being photographed much more than taking the photographs!

We also went to places he'd never visited, like the nearby Museum of Childhood, and to Liverpool Street station which had changed a lot since his last visit 20 years ago.

Andrew also enjoyed seeing what could be done with the images on the computer. He was fascinated and amused to see himself transformed into a member of the Thunderbird team as a museum exhibit!
