I had a great day today, taking photos of members of the city’s Roma and Irish Traveller communities who were part of the Manchester Day parade. This is the first time the Roma have been included in any kind of public event like this and it was great to see them sharing a little of their culture with the city at large…we had really good fun. It was also nice to be able to shoot freely without all the baggage which has been weighing me down lately (access problems, self doubt..).
