"The Last of It"
The Sabbiston's were two sheep farming brothers with a small holding in the Cotswolds. For years they had struggled to make the farm pay, but it was no longer viable. This was their last season - an end of a way of life.

Biography: I am a photographer of people, landscapes and 'bar life'. This last project has gone on for several years now. I have photographed life in the bars of Milan, Amsterdam, Sarajevo, Bruges and the cities of England. It seems to me wherever alcohol and people mix all life occurs, from the exotic to the banal, from the dangerous to the lonely. Originally conceived in black and white, this mission has progressed through colour into infrared.
