Me and My Interests: I am Tash, a photographer with a special interest to document the lives of travelling people and those attending Festivals, Stonehenge etc, what the press often describe as 'New Age Travellers'. With my photography, I have tried to say something of the wide variety of people engaged in 'Alternatives', and youths' many sub-cultures and to present a more positive view. I have photographed many free and commercial events and have, in recent years, extended my work to include dance parties ('rave culture'), gay-rights events, environmental direct actions, and protest against the Criminal Justice Act and more recently, issues surrounding the Global Capitalism. Further, police surveillance has recently become a very important subject for me! In recognition of this work, received a 'Winston' from Privacy International, at the 1998 'Big Brother' Awards. The citation reads: "Alan Lodge is a photographer who has spent more than a decade raising awareness of front-line police surveillance activities, particularly the endemic practice of photographing demonstrators and activists". I am currently involved with the setting up and administration of ImcUkNottinghamshire Indymedia. An 'open-publishing' system which is part of an international 'alternative media' network. I am based in Nottingham, UK.
