I got to thinking about this and could visualise the wonderful big glossy photo prints of cream cakes and juicy burgers. It came at a time when I was becoming increasingly concerned about how we were loosing touch with what of what is. A survey of primary school kids had revealed that hardly any of the kids associated pork with a pig. And so I came up with "You Are What You Eat" photo series for the exhibition. The title of each photo print is a well know gastronomic recipe title. The photos were rather striking against the predictably pristine colour food photos. They caught the eye of radio 4 presenter John Walters, who had come to the exhibition to research food a programme he was making for his BBC programme Walters Weekly. He asked me to do an interview and I will try and post it her soon " Paul Williams

Paul Williams discovered that if you pulled the Polaroid early the black backing that held a latent picture would solorize. This left a grey negative image against a solid black background.

Paul Williams nicknamed these "Soloroids"
