Exercise: England Uncensored by Peter Dench. Phil Coomes.

Exercise: England Uncensored by Peter Dench. Phil Coomes.

If you make a fool of yourself expect to have someone photograph it.  In the age of the camera phone the idea of privacy in a public place is very much dead.  Nothing is now too gross nor too shocking to be photographed.  Which should be, or can be, published is 
now where the ethical questions are discussed.  

By using humorous juxtapositions of objects or circumstances, in the way Dench does, leads to images that call us to both smile and, at the same time learn something about ourselves and our neighbours.
