5.They were only very short moments in time.A kiss on a station …a kind scolding from the local police officer.But the very short moment of time it took to snap these everyday pictures would allow them to last for the next 30years.
None of the people in the pictures realized they were being photographed.Had it not been for the curiosity of photographer Chris Porsz,they might have remained unknown to the public for ever.
Last year,55-year-old Chris became interested in digging out the story behind the pictures he had taken in Peterborough in the early 1980s.
With the help of the local newspaper,he set about trying to find the people in the pictures.Now,he has a new set of pictures of some of the same people recur the moment captured all those years ago.
The picture of the young man and woman on platform five in 1982at Peterborough station was taken when the couple Tony and Sally Wilmot were working in different parts of the country before they got married.
Not much has changed at the station,except for the trains.Pull-down windows are history,so farewell(告别) kisses can only be performed through an open door.
"We often didn't see each other for three or four weeks,so it was an important parting,"says Sally."It's hard for our children to understand because nowadays everyone has mobile phones."
Tim Woodman was a 12-year-old when Chris caught the picture of him being given a good talking-to by a policeman.Tim says:I'm not sure what the policeman was saying,but I imagine he may have been telling me not to cycle on the path."
Nor does the officer remember what happened that day.He retired last year."I showed the photo to my son,who has completed his first year in the Met Police,"he says."It was lovely for him to see me at the same age and a great memento(纪念品) of my police career."
