He had a Rollei flash on his Nikon F2 and "simply blasted away during Thatcher's speech, hoping to get that one shot".
The contact sheet is often described as the photographer's sketch book. It is the result of those moments of exploration, moments spent waiting for a scene to develop before the final moment when, 'click', you know you've got the shot in the can.
" The photos may give the impression that I was the only one there to watch the speech, but there were in fact more than 10 other, mostly male photographers shooting away. It was fascinating to be a first-hand witness of the early days under Britain’s first woman prime minister. Forgetting the politics, she was always friendly and open to the photographers who were with her, in a way that would be hard to imagine today.”- Peter Marlow
