At midnight on August 13th 1987, the chimes of Big Ben signalled the start of a new day in the life of the British Isles.It was to be a day unlike any other.
In the course of it, thousands of men, women and children photographed whatever seemed to them to capture the essence of Britain in the pattern of their lives. This,the largest photographic event the world has ever seen, was the launch of the
unprecedented SEARCH 88 fund-raising campaign in aid of the Cancer Charities.
The photographs sorted into 18 geographical areas,were submitted to a distinguished panel of judges,who selected
the 350 most striking,evocative entries for publication in this book.
Complete with a celebrities contribution to open and close each of the 5 time-zones
chapters,'One Day For Life' presents the image of a nation in all its moods.Far from being a showcase for the professional
photographers,the book is unique not only
for the range and impact of the photographs,but also for the fact that they represent the creation - and character - of ordinary people everywhere.
'One Day For Life' celebrates the moment in Britain's history when a whole nation, inspired by the wish to help one of the most worthwhile of all causes,set out to record the richness and variety of its' every day life.
