When a friend of mine told me in early 2004 that he saw a picture of me giving directions, I wasn\u2019t particularly excited. My university was close to the British Museum and a week wouldn\u2019t pass without some tourist asking me how to get to the museum. I never saw the photograph until it appeared in an art magazine that came bundled in with The Guardian. <\/p>\n<p> That day several of my fellow students called and texted me that there was a photograph of me and another student in the newspaper. Needless to say, I went immediately and bought the issue. Imagine my surprise when I saw the photo and realised that neither I, nor my friend were lost! It was more than obvious, on every other photograph people were looking at maps, and the two of us were staring at some random piece of paper. In fact, we were discussing different housing accommodations that were spread all over London, which may have led Mr Gill to believe that we were lost. I also don\u2019t remember anyone approaching us and offering help, though chances are that we would have rejected it. <br \/> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"text\"><br \/>Anyways, it was almost a year ago as I am writing the present paragraph so I may very well be wrong. To sum it all up, it was a mistake to print our picture in the magazines or the book, A Book of Field Studies, but it was a mistake that made me the topic of university gossip for a day! After all, several girls did call me to ask how I was feeling to be in a magazine so I can\u2019t complain! So, Mr Gill, thanks for the photo.<br \/> <\/span><span class=\"bold\"><br \/><strong>PESCH<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4><a href=\"index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=43:a-book-of-field-studies&amp;catid=19&amp;Itemid=77\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"review_photo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/fieldstudiescover.jpg\" alt=\"Field Studies\" title=\"Field Studies\" align=\"left\" height=\"144\" hspace=\"0\" width=\"115\" \/><\/a> <span class=\"bold\"><span class=\"review_author\">Stephen Gill<\/span><br \/><span class=\"review_additional\"> Published by Chris Boot<\/span><\/span><span class=\"bold\"><span class=\"review_additional\"><br \/> 240 pp, Hardback<br \/> \u00a324.95 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":83,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 -
