Tapescript
Good evening, everyone. My name’s Ian Gerrard and I’m a photographer. I’m here to tell
you a bit about my career so far, and also about my new book.
I often get asked if I studied photography at university and people are sometimes surprised
that I didn’t. I wanted to, but my parents wouldn’t let me, so I had to choose something else.
I loved history but my marks weren’t very good, but I was keen on geography too, so that is
what I did in the end. I actually think it’s made me a better photographer, and has given my
work a broader context.
On my degree course, in my final year, we studied all aspects of the development of cities
and we had to do a presentation. We could do what we wanted and it was really interesting
the topics people chose. I chose street markets for mine but a friend did his on the growth of
urban transport networks.
On graduation, I went to the USA. I knew I wanted to work as a photographer, so I’d sent
pictures to news organisations and advertising agencies, hoping I might get something in a
brochure, or even a newspaper. In fact, it was a magazine that noticed my pictures, and I
worked for it for a year.
I learnt a huge amount, but what I really wanted to do was see the USA for myself. I needed
a theme, something really American – maybe photographing diners or shopping malls around
Page 2 of 6
the country. Then I remembered all those westerns I’d seen and I just knew it had to be
horses – I’d found what I wanted to focus on!
It was an amazing six months – I started off in the baking heat of summer on the east coast,
and finished my journey up in the mountains. I get the most striking shots in the winter light,
although I do love the warmth in summer photos.
Anyway, I came back to Britain at the beginning of spring and published my US photos in a
small book. I earned just enough to finance my next trip – round the UK. I felt it was time I
explored my own country. I’d done a lot of driving in the USA and I wanted a change from
the car, so went by motorbike instead. I love train travel, but I wanted to get to more remote
areas.
I wanted to explore the relationship between people and place. Interestingly, in the last few
decades, many photographers from the UK haven’t done much on fishing communities here,
so that’s what I did. They’ve tended to focus on family life in inner city communities instead.
The resulting photos I’m putting together for my new book. One thing I’ve learnt is that it
takes ages to produce a book - almost as long, in fact, as it took me to travel around Britain
and then develop all the photos I’d taken. I started my journey in August, and finished last
month, in November. My book won’t be in the shops until March, though there’s an
exhibition of my pictures touring the UK from January.
It’s funny, I really wanted to call my book Visions, but apparently there’s already one called
that, so my publishers suggested the title In Focus, which I thought was horrible. In the end
we settled for Images, which is OK.
Now I’m planning my text tour. I wasn’t sure which theme to choose this time. I initially
thought I’d look at lakes and mountains but then I saw a tractor in a field and I knew I’d do
farming. I’ve decided to use a special camera to create very large photos, which I’m hoping
to exhibit next year.
Question 3: Indicate whether the following statements are true or false by writing T for
true, F for false and (?) if there is insufficient information. (10 points)

1. F 2. T 3.F 4. T 5. ?

Tapescripts
Richard: Hi, Linda, did you have a nice holiday?
Linda : Yes. I went to visit my aunt Cathy in Chase Village for a week.
Richard: Oh, you went to Chase Village? I know the place. My sister lives there.
How is the traffic there?
Linda : Not too bad. Why do you ask about the traffic?
Richard: You know, I went to the village 3 years ago. There was a lot of traffic in
Chase Village. People drove too fast. I had a very serious accident on
Newland Street. I was afraid to drive there, so I always try to avoid that
road when I visit my sister.
Linda : Things are changing now. You know, people put on their brakes and slow
down on Newland Street because they can see a police car there with a
police officer in it.
Richard: Oh, it’s good to have a policeman there because there were many
accidents that happened on that road. But the police officer wouldn’t be
there all the time, so some people wouldn’t be too careful about the
police. Sometimes they just took a risk.
Linda : You know, the police officer has been working on that road 24 hours a
day, seven days a week for about two and a half years now.
Page 3 of 6
Richard: Oh, how can a policeman do this without any break?
Linda : No break at all.
Richard: How much does he get paid for the overtime work?
Linda : In fact, he doesn’t get any pay at all.
Richard: What is his name? He must be a volunteer there but I can’t believe it.
Linda : His name is Officer Springirth. The police department put him to work there.
Richard: What do you mean? Why did the police department put him there?
Linda : In fact, he isn’t a real man. He is a mannequin. Before he was put there
people broke into 16 cars in two months in the village. When the police
department put Officer Springirth on that road there were no more
break-ins in that area.
Richard: I’m glad to hear it. I think the police department should put more
mannequins on other roads which often cause accidents.
Linda : It’s a good idea. You know, the crime rate in Chase Village is very low
compared to the neighbouring village.
Richard: So the most important effect Officer Springirth has is reducing the crime rate.
Linda : Exactly.
Richard: I will go to visit my sister next month so I will try that road again.
Linda : Yes, please do. You will see the changes.
