Crew Training, R.N.L.I – Morecambe, England

So with my eagerness to travel and the impossibility of it is this climate, I shoot the R.N.L.I on their many crew nights, launches and returns. Again with everything I document I find it great that these guys Volunteer to do this.

Most of the crew are Firefighters, Police and Ambulance Services in their day jobs but when they have 5 minutes and there bleeper blares at 3 in the morning they get to the boathouse to suit up and rescue some drunk fool on the rocks, or in the worse scenario a lost child in the sea. Either way it is an honour to be allowed the privilege of documenting an on going project on the men and women of Morecambe Lifeboat Station.

R.N.L.I

Over the past 2 months, I have been working with the R.N.L.I given full access with pager to document the crew and their struggles. It has been a good experience, meeting various people within the organisation and gaining valuable experience.

The determination of the volunteers to help the public is second to none, and a thoughour documented assignment must be achieved to reflect this. It is challenging, heartwarming and beyond achieveable.
