Stranger # 40: Darren
Darren is a thatcher, I met him on a recent trip to The Cotswolds, where he was replacing a thatched roof. He told me that there is a five year apprenticeship to become a thatcher but even then they are learning on the job. A job can take anything from weeks to months to complete. Darren was a very interesting man who is clearly passionate about his work, I was pleased he agreed to take part in the stranger project.
This picture is #40 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
