²As a class, the 2007 Royal College of Art graduating photography students decided on the topics Reference and Footnote for our catalogue. A number of writers were asked to write on Reference and photography graduates would add a Footnote to whichever text played on some importance for them. I was taken with Becky Beasley’s piece, The Man without References, 2007.
