\nProtesters at the Home office call for an inquiry into the ‘Battle of Orgreave’<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

March seems a very long time ago now, with so much having happened both personally and nationally since then, which is a part of the reason it has taken so long for me to complete updating My London Diary for March<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of those personal events was the show ‘All Along the Lea’<\/em> at Cody Dock, which took quite a lot of time on the computer preparing images as well as a couple of visits to the venue. It also stirred me to go and visit the area again and take some more pictures.<\/p>\n

Another was my appearance on stage – an extremely rare theatrical moment – at Battersea Arts Centre. Not that I had to learn any lines to make a contribution to the discussion I was asked to take part in – with fellow panelists Jeremy Hardy<\/em>, journalist Dawn Foster<\/em> and theatre legend Max Stafford Clark<\/em> – after a performance by Lung Theatre<\/em> of their ‘E15<\/em>‘ based on the activities of Stratford-based housing activists Focus E15<\/em> and using their actual words (and those of some other activists from Sweets Way) in a ‘verbatim theatre<\/em>‘ play, but it did involve a whole lot of nervous worrying on my part, though I think it went rather well on the night. And there was also a slightly strange protest\/publicity event in Battersea for the opening night.\u00a0Lung Theatre ‘E15’ march to BAC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I actually attended fewer protest than in most months in March, but probably took rather more pictures than usual, and these included quite a large number of panoramic images. These actually take rather longer, both to take but particularly to process afterwards. It is a slightly different process to normal, as what I see in the viewfinder is rather different from what I will get in the final image, requiring a little mental gymnastics, and its also vital in most landscape images to get the camera dead level to avoid a curved horizon. But it is the processing that takes up more time – and much more disk space.<\/p>\n
