	During the last week of the Walthamstow Dogs in 2008 I took a series of portrait photographs of staff, dog-trainers and people from the crowd. The portraits were captured with a medium format film camera using a tripod and a long exposure. Working like this slows down the picture-taking process: it takes time to set up the camera, tripod and compose the photograph. My subjects often start concentrating on what I’m doing which helps create intense portraits. I like to think this series of photos also captures the mood of the evening - one of sadness at the stadium's imminent demise. This exhibition is part of the E17 Art Trail 2010: 10 days; 120 venues; 200 exhibitions and over 1200 artists and contributors.
