Today I found my old secondary school photo, taken in May 1982. Naturally it’s a fascinating record of 300 or so different attempts at The Perfect Eighties Hairstyle. But as much as the boredom and mutual antagonism on the faces of everyone pictured - teachers and pupils alike - tells a story, the deathly dull architecture in the background - the school roof, a nearby council house, a gaggle of TV aerials - says just as much to me, and in an equally haunting fashion. #school #photo #class #1980s #blackandwhite #architecture #boredom #thesmiths #morrissey #dormlife #dolequeue #britain #education #b&w #ohnonotdoublegeographyagain
