Athlete Zola Budd in the US

admin — Tue, 22 May 2012 14:00:24 +0000

I was down in South Carolina very recently to photograph long distance runner Zola Budd. I’m a huge fan of Zola’s and especially her resilience. She has certainly been through the mill during her career. Zola has been used as a political pawn and suffered unjustified criticism during her olympic running days. It was great to photograph someone I admire and respect and hopefully people will understand after reading her story what she and her family have been through over the ensuing years……

Patricia Krentcil and a passion for tanning

admin — Sun, 06 May 2012 12:24:03 +0000

An American mother with a passion for tanning has pleaded not guilty in court to a charge of child endangerment for allegedly allowing her five-year-old daughter into a tanning booth. Authorities say Patricia Krentcil’s daughter, now six, turned up at her elementary school in Nutley, New Jersey, with sunburn, prompting a school nurse to contact police. But Ms Krentcil insists that, although her daughter was in the room, she was not in the tanning booth itself.
