A bit flash
![Cosmonaut Richard Garriott aka "Lord British" Entrepreneur computer games developer Richard Garriott worked extensively with British schools before, during and after his trip to the International Space Station](https://www.bluefilter.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/vtt-crg-709-d030-master-wc-us.jpg)
A pro pos of nothing, I have been involved in working with a group of 14 to 16 year old students from a number of schools in the East End, in conjunction with an organisation called Venture Thinking. The objective is to introduce them to real world photography with a live brief and client.
Yesterday we managed to kill two birds as it were, when two of my projects collided. Cosmonaut Richard Garriott met me on the shore line at Coin Street for a photoshoot and took the time to meet the kids and tell them what life is like in space, and the students in turn took some time to engage themselves in helping me with ideas and logistics for the photograph. There is something kind of cool about being able to see the boy holding the light in this preproducton shot. A rush version of the finished image can be seen on my main site.
