Whilst participating in Work Experience within the Photographic Section at R.A.F Waddington, I got the opportunity to go and take photograph’s of the firemen testing a new foam pump they had recently got. I was fifteen at the time and I got to use this enormous camera with a large heavy lens, which I had trouble holding up as I had never used anything like this before, seeing as I have an Olympus E-400. It was initially bought as a starter camera for me at the time, however I still use it today. It is a very light camera and has a small body, so in comparison I felt I was using a ‘real professionals’ camera. I was asked to take ‘dramatic’ photo’s of the firemen and I think I managed to achieve this.
“When I started elementary school, I was new to Canada then and at the time I thought all people in Canada had blond hair and blue eyes. That’s how I had envisioned everybody. So I attended Thomas Collegiate, which is in the north east side of the city, and there were a lot of Indigenous people there and they all were non-blond and non-blue eyed. So my first instinct was that they are Afghan so I started speaking with them in Farsi because in my mind if they were blond and blue eyed that meant they were Canadian but anyone outside of that characteristic meant that they were from Afghanistan. And of course they were giving me weird looks because they had no idea what I was talking about and little did I know that, in fact, they really did not know what I was saying. I realized that much much later.” Aqila Azizi came from Afghanistan to Canada in 2000. She is an engineer working in the construction field and she calls Canada her new home. Photo by Madina Azizi.

This is a photograph towards my Sri Lankan project. I took this image because I liked the shapes and the way the workers occupied their own part of the photo. I also wanted to highlight different working practices between Sri Lanka and Britain.
