loneliness, waiting, looking, calmness by Jeremy Cooper

Upon reviewing my photographs from 1978 to the present day, I have noticed that some of my favorite images prominently feature solitary figures, as well as a few couples. These are not portraits, and the individuals in the photographs were not known to me. The images seem to convey feelings of loneliness, waiting, looking, and calmness.

These mono images vary from film I processed in 1978 to mobile phone shots, and various digital cameras.

My name is Jeremy Cooper. I live in Wolverton, "The First Railway Town", built in north Buckinghamshire next to the Grand Union Canal, half way between London and Birmingham. It is now part of the new city of Milton Keynes.

I'm a retired BBC TV producer - I made documentaries (mainly on location) to accompany distance-learning Social Science courses produced by the Open University (based in Milton Keynes).

I now enjoy shooting and/or editing videos, and designing websites - but seldom for payment nowadays.

I've been a stills photographer since I was in my teens.
