A few shots from Tom Hodge’s 70th birthday party at a his home near Wittersham in Kent. A thoroughly civilised affair, Tom’s friends and family were treated to champagne in the garden and a leisurely lunch followed by a tea dance with a jazz band in the marquee. I was lurking paparazzi-style around the property and playing back the pictures as I shot them through a projector, an equally satisfying and frustrating situation as although I could see I’d got a few ok shots, it leaves no time for the all important editing process.
