Photograph something that you have had in your mind for years and you just can't let go – Alejandro Cartagena

 

I have always been driven to "be somebody"...but also loathing the idea of the limelight when it is thrust upon me. A paradoxical condition...this wanting to be inside...but then when got get there, newly arrived amidst the great and the good, still with your ladder under your arm, pathetic ambition...stifled laughter from those who remember well enough their own struggles and cleanse their wounded feelings by laughing at the newcomer.

 

The look of amused bafflement as you fall out into the bright glare of the delivery room, covered in blood and mucus.

 

Pride give'th and pride take'th away.

 

I put these together at the Big Bang Data exhibition at Somerset House - finding the exhibition a bit boring I thought I'd try and get value for money by putting my camera on a bench and sort of pretending I was on stage. I got a few quizzical looks from security but thankfully few people were around.
