[1/5] There are a few things that I particularly treasure on the project. One is my camera, not necessarily for what it is but for what it has done. I find it really quite moving to think about all those people photographed with just this one camera and one lens.

[2/5] Another is Neena, my mobile darkroom. She’s the hub of the project when I’m making new work on the coast — the site of all kinds of conversations, happenstances, stresses, sadness, elation and all round special memories. Always there, diligently waiting. My trusty steed.

[3/5] The audio recordings are extremely precious to me too. Like the photographs, they’re often made in very specific, never to be repeated circumstances. I reckon we can all learn a thing or two from the sage words imparted by the special breed of people who crew a lifeboat.
[4/5] Then there are the plates themselves, of course. One-off handmade sculptures of silver and light. If you see them in a museum, they’re not copies. They’re pieces of glass that were in the back of the camera at those locations and with those people. Glass time capsules.

[5/5] My final treasure is the website, the place where all the pictures, recordings, experiences and memories are collated. The living archive of the project, a labour of love, my pride and joy: http://lifeboatstationproject.com
