I had purchased a ticket to see wildlife photographer Chris Packham on the Super Stage and was surprised and inspired to hear that the wonderful colours in some of his images were a result of him waiting by a pond for the arrival of brightly coloured waste transporter trucks so he could use the reflections to transform a waste ground into an area of beauty filled with wildlife.
Mr Bailey is a very funny man and he pulls no punches when speaking his mind. His attitude, not only to photography but to life in general is brilliant. He presents himself just as he is, no airs or graces, he is what he is and he does what he does his way, if anyone doesn't like it they can lump it, simple as that. As a photographer he doesn't like anyone telling him how to do his job and stated "If I asked a bricklayer to build me a wall I wouldn't tell him how to lay the bricks!" This is a brilliant analogy and an attitude more people should have. Too many people these day put unnecessary pressure on themselves by worrying too much about what others will think. David Bailey is a great Photographer and an inspirational Human Being.
