In Praise of Police Constables

Robery at Jewellers on Ladypool Road Birmingham July 2010

The police have had a very bad press from the photographer community and this experience left me pleasantly surprised, Driving along the I noticed police cars and a small crowd outside this jewellers. I know that scenes of crime and taking photographs of police officers are a no go but my process is to go in take a shot and rely on the gift of the gab to get me out with the picture. Ad I’m taking this photo a copper shouts out to me and I thought here we go; he wanted to know what I was doing photographing a scene of crime and then said Ok but please be respectful to the people who have been involved in the robbery. I was amazed, how refreshing.
