"Those Disgusting Photos"

I've been meaning to post this for weeks but after six intensive days of parent-teacher interviews, I've become a bit of a lazy sod.

About three weeks ago, I took my students on an excursion to the Botanic Gardens to view a Jeanie Baker exhibition featuring collages from her latest book, Belonging. While we were waiting near a building on Hackney Road, one of my students pointed out a large collecting of pigeon droppings on one of the walls.

"You know those disgusting photos you take? Well, I found another one for you."

She must have been thinking of the photo of Lindes Lane that I showed the class at the start of the year...
