This project is about telling big stories through small, personal objects.

It started after my climbing partner Chris took a big fall on an airy route on Dartmoor. His protection ripped out of the rock. He got bashed up but escaped major injury. The fall left a gouge across the aluminium gear. He kept the nut, scratched and worn, as a reminder that he got lucky. I photographed it in ultra high-res macro and now the print hangs on his wall. A quiet, powerful reminder that life is finite, fun and not to be taken for granted.

Do you have small objects that tell big stories and would look good on the wall?

What do you reckon?

I have a big print of this skateboard wheel hanging pride of place in my front room:

When I was 13 we lived on a steep hill. At the beginning of summer I bought a secondhand Santa Cruz set-up off a kid at my school. It came with this set of Bullet 66’s. Within a few days the council resurfaced our rough gravelly road with silky-smooth fresh black tarmac. These events changed my life forever.
