Jacko from | LOCALS, CUMBRIA | SO, here's a little snap from a project I began the moment I moved to Cumbria, I had it in mind for years, in the first years I've lived here, it felt important to reconnect to places and to start slowly planting seeds of thought snd ideas which were engraved in me. So I started to talk to locals, and with some relationship has grown in very short period of time, hence the portrait of Jacko, a man who worked in the Honister slate mine for nearly 40 years, until 1981 when mine got closed. Jacko is nearly 90, his health condition enables him to move freely, he still does move around the house and in his little worksop where he cuts wood when the weather allows him to.
