A few notes about finding a fascinating photo subject, right in front my nose, entirely by chance. The story begins with some old honey. Been lying around for a while, in need of heating and filtering to put in jars.

1980. Sharp suits. Wraparound shades. Pork pie hats. The days when we had proper fashion tribes, and a row of button badges down the (narrow) lapel – or on the inside of it in the case of a school blazer…
