2 The selection of work in this book represents the end of three years of study and development for this group of committed photographers, and it also marks the coming of age of the Photojournalism & Documentary Photography degree programme at the University of Gloucestershire. Three years ago this course set out to provide students with the practical skills and theoretical grounding, and support for their individual development, to enable them to become multi-skilled, adaptable and confident photographers. As you will see from the breadth of the work in this book, these students have developed their ability to work independently, utilising digital technology and film, in order to meet the wide variety of situations encountered in documenting our world in our time.

Death is an inevitable part of our experience. We spend a great deal of time avoiding the subject, pretending it won t happen to us and taking desperate measures to try and stave it off.

4 Death is an inevitable part of our experience. We spend a great deal of time avoiding the subject, pretending it won t happen to us and taking desperate measures to try and stave it off. Of course death brings with it an end, and for those left behind there is the need to work through a grieving process. But death can also bring relief from suffering. And in many cases there may have to be a Post-mortem examination after death, a final search for answers about us and a process which we will not have the right to object to if it is ordered by a coroner. Usually a post mortem examination will take place in the following instances: After an accident or injury. Following an industrial disease. During a surgical operation. Before recovery from an anaesthetic. The death was violent or unnatural, due to drugs, alcohol or suicide. The death was sudden.

7 Coed Hills is an ecologically sustainable community founded in 1997 by 5 graduate art students seeking a space where art and the environment could harmoniously meet. Situated in the picturesque Vale of Glamorgan on the outskirts of 80 acres of woodland the site is entirely powered by alternative energy, comprising of a high tech wind turbine, solar panels and a biomass heating system. Community members live in low impact dwellings such as Mongolian yurts, straw bailed buildings and recycled railway carriages. The objective of members of Coed Hills is to live a low impact existence, in harmony with the environment and with each other. Meal times at Coed Hills are enjoyed communally with the daily menu determined by what organic resources are growing in the permiculture gardens. Living in harmony with the environment is not an easy lifestyle choice, during the cold winter months the daily tasks must still be fulfilled, such as collecting and chopping wood for heating, growing food, gardening, building and maintaining low impact housing. In the summer the community reap the rewards of living in harmony with the earth.

Dopo qualche anno di lavoro all eta di vent anni sono partito per il servizio militare prestato in una localita del Friuli Venezia Giulia chiamata Aviano, famosa per ospitare la piu grande base

8 Mi chiamo Francesco Butera, sono nato il 22 Febbraio del 1947 in un piccolo paesino della Sicilia chiamato Aragona. Fino all eta di quindici anni ho vissuto con la mia famiglia in Sicilia, successivamente mi sono trasferito a Torino era emigrato per lavoro. Dopo qualche anno di lavoro all eta di vent anni sono partito per il servizio militare prestato in una localita del Friuli Venezia Giulia chiamata Aviano, famosa per ospitare la piu grande base militare nato in Italia. Rientrato a Torino ho cominciato a lavorare come elettricista in un azienda specializzata in robot ed automazione industriale. Nel 1972 ho conosciuto mia moglie e ci siamo sposati, e dopo 3 anni abbiamo avuto un primo bambino, Pietro e 2 anni dopo e arrivato anche Giuseppe. Io e la mia famiglia viviamo in questa casa da 28 anni. Dopo qualche anno ho vinto un concorso per entrare nell azienda di trasporto pubblico, allora chiamata ATM adesso si chiama GTT, un impiego scelto per motivi economici ed anche perche garantiva una stabilita e sicurezza nel tempo, dove infatti, cambiando diverse mansioni, sono stato dipendente per oltre 27 anni. La prima mansione ricoperta nell allora ATM e stata quella di bigliettaio sui tram. Passati 3 anni, su richiesta personale, sono stato oggetto di selezione per poter entrare a far parte del personale tecnico addetto alla manutenzione dei mezzi. Dopo circa 10 anni ho concorso ad una selezione interna per diventare capo squadra, la buona professionalita acquisita nel tempo, con l esperienza e la buona prova prodotto in sede di concorso hanno fatto si che venissi promosso alla mansione di capo operaio. La carriera lavorativa e terminata nel gennaio del 1997, mi ha consentito di dedicarmi alla mia maggiore passione ovvero la coltivazione del piccolo giardino di casa.

Vicino al giardino ho construito un piccolo forno in cui posso cucinare salutariamente in particolare mi piace preparare la pizza.

9 Veneria a bisogno di molti piu fabricati perche le persone preferiscono abitare qui, invece nel centro di Torino. Mio giardino da sempre coltivo alberi da frutta, ortaggi, legumi. Quando sono in giardino la radio e sempre accesa per tenermi compagnia. Al giardinaggio si e unito I allevamento di piccoli animali quail galline. Un altro animale allevato da sempre e il cane, attualmente ho un pastore tedesco di nome Lucky. Vicino al giardino ho construito un piccolo forno in cui posso cucinare salutariamente in particolare mi piace preparare la pizza. La pizza cucinata nel forno a legna acquista un sapore particolare che la rende davvero molto gustosa. Un altra abitudine consolidata in pensione e il gioco delle carte, nelle serate infrasettimanali del martedi e giovedi, ci ritroviamo con mio fratello Carmelo ed altri amici per passare qualche momento insieme in compagnia.

14 The Funeral Trade The people in these photographs spend their lives helping to fulfil the last wishes of the deceased, and making their passing as comfortable as possible for their relatives and friends. As you would expect, todays consumer society demands a wide range of options, to suit all tastes, for that last journey or to leave your mark on the world. Despite this, sixty percent of adults in the United Kingdom have not taken the necessary steps to organise their own funeral and they are relying on their family, or perhaps the state, to organise their burial or cremation.
