The freedom of choice to reinterpret images is what the black and white darkroom was all about. Many a photographer - this one included - would occasionally labour once again under the red glow of the safe light in an attempt to draw that last bit of information from a favourite negative.
In this case, I decided to reshoot entirely to get nearer to what I envisaged when I first chose this subject, some ten years ago.
Honouring the courage of all those lost at sea when trying to save the lives of others, this memorial stands outside the RNLI headquarters, Poole. Originally containing the names of the 778 who had died as a volunteer since 1855, a further 28 were discovered through research, and added three years after the memorial was unveiled in 2009.
