Today is the 100th anniversay of the birth of Norman Parkinson aka Parks. I met Parks at Trinidad Carnival in 1988. We were both staying in the Queens Park Hotel overlooking the Savvanah in Port of Spain - a wonderful run down old world hotel that is sadly no longer. I had seen him and his wife Wenda there in previous years but never actually met them. By the time I met him in 1988 his wife had died. Parks invited us to visit him at his house in Tobago but we never made it over. I did get to see - and photograoph - the house some years later, long after Parks had died. A magical place in the most amazing location. Will try to dig out some pictures. Meantime, I've always loved this picture he made in the Seychelles for British Vogue circa 1971 and styled by Grace Coddington.
