  • The Death of Ian Tomlinson: A Photographer's Account

    At the periphery of my vision I was aware of a scuffle and went to investigate. An unusual scene presented itself that demanded to be photographed, a middle aged man sitting on the pavement looking up to the police and obviously verbalising his disdain. The police ignored him as two demonstrators attempted to help him to his feet. I took one photograph and moved on. I took another one of the Territorial Support Group to the right of this incident to get a full picture of the scene. In amongst them was a police officer who had hidden his facial identity skulking in the back. I thought nothing of it.
