Mrs Smith
I wouldn’t dream of trying to pretend the technical quality of these photographs is anything but naff. Of course, you had no idea of what you were going to get when you pressed the shutter; you had to wait until the goods came back from the lab and you had spent your hard-earned cash. These pictures were taken coming up 40 years ago. The digital dawn was a long way off. These images never made it into actual prints. They are scans from a contact sheet (itself not a totally accurate representation of the developed film). Whatever, this is the second get-together with Mrs Smith in my rather run-down south-east London drum. But it lent itself perfectly to the behind-closed-doors backstreet vibe. Which Mrs S had no issues with. A Playboy Penthouse it was not. This was the beginning of a long-time great Spick and Span voyage with the good lady.
