Crown green bowling. Without doubt, quintessentially British and a familiar sight during our summer months. What I like about this shot is that it tells its own story. A game in play, the hands on the hips and the looking down motion studying the outcome. It also give the impression by the players themselves that its an older boys game. That might be the case here but the I can assure you all that the female element of this world love it too - generally speaking in the same age bracket that is.
There’s another element here that makes this shot what it is, and thats the fact its shot on film, like all of my work. The depth, grain and contrast of a roll of Agfa Vista in this case works really well. The camera on this occasion was the epic little Olympus 35mm trip. One of the best point and shoots ever made, Ask David Bailey - remember the ad’s? the greatest camera ad’s ever made.RD
