Justin Partkya is a photographer. His work preserves the memory of the still present but disappearing traditional agrarian lifestyle still being held onto in parts of East Anglia. This is a film he made about 99 year old farmer Eric whose family have depended on and cultivated this land for over a century.
Dom and I met Justin by chance at an exhibition of his photographs we came across while cycling around Suffolk. We stayed the day at the farm and in the evening saw Justin speak about his work as he showed slides of it. Walking is a very important part of his practise.
Here is his website: http://justinpartyka.com/#/my-friend-eric---a-film and below a video of him explaining his work.
And below a quick slideshow of the slides I took on the walk that day, and of the farm that housed Justin's exhibition.
