last night, i photographed my favourite band in the world.
the same band that made me the person i am today, and put me on the path to so many friendships and experiences.
it was ambitious, but i did it. a month into my career. i am so grateful for my crazy, whirlwind life. Δ

The Illegal, Pie-eating BMX riders of Wigan
by Lucy Evans (@monsigneous)
Wigan is famed for its pies, but less so for its thriving BMX community. One fine day this summer however, both worlds collided.

If I had been given proper appropriate sex education before 9yrs old I would’ve had words to talk abt what happened to me age 6. But I was shown a video about how sex = babies which was aimed at teens. My response after was to repeatedly tell teachers I was pregnant. 1/
lucy evans was only 23 years old when she created dry society, a hand-bound book containing over 100 pages documenting washing lines whilst examining class, feminism, poverty and violence against women
@ptrmerc in doing so, the crowd started shouting in our faces. think one other photographer got spat on? someone shouted “yeah you fucker” at me? but it’s just funny for a band so political to incite a mob mentality against creatives just doing their (unpaid) jobs
@ptrmerc never been a fan, tried to get into them a bit on the first album and it never gelled. not listened to the new one so can’t comment, but i was shooting them at a festival once and, after spitting all over himself (?) the frontman got on the mic to slander the media team +
