This work marked a departure for me from photojournalism to photography as an art form. The pictures started to explore time and place in photography and questioned the relationship of the human presence to a photograph. By printing adjacently exposed frames side-by-side and exhibiting them as one entity I was suggesting that all is never as it seems in a photograph - the creation of a photograph is deliberate and the process is one of constant editing.

BBC TV said "Grant has a powerful point to make that hits you when you least expect it".
