Photographer's Diary
Monday 21st August - Axa Direct
Axa was one of the largest employers in the district. A huge multinational insurance
company that boasts several large offices around the UK. I met Paul Eastwood,
the regional director, who gave me a free run. There actually was not much to
run to. Just one huge office with computer screens and telephones going off.
A large screen at the back of the office showed 32 callers waiting to be spoken
to. "That's not good", "I was told" but it's always like
this on a Monday, everyone wants to call in Monday morning. I was out within
20 minutes with a couple of rolls of pictures, but little to make up a ten picture
port folio.
