I was asked to submit three photographs
In view of this I submitted four
Black/Red
Red/Black
I also submitted two other photographs
Of a black and white latrine
They were all rejected
Which did not surprise me
As I had been born in the Hebrides
Which when broken down
Reads He-Brides
This I find rather disturbing
As I am not ambiguous
Far from it as I like girls wearing
Aran sweaters and faded jeans
Who wait at railway stations
For trains that have been cancelled
They interest me they interest me a great deal
So much that I have changed the isle of my birth
I was born on Fair Isle in 1976
My father exported sweaters to the mainland
This made him wealthy and he moved to LA
Where he now owns a surfing shop in Venice
His name was Owen but I called him Dad
My mothers name was Sue but I called her Mum
People can be very traditional on these islands
