I only shot in black and white at Future because at that time it was necessary to get a negative made before a colour slide could be printed in black and white in the magazine, and of course that took time.
I wanted those shots to be in the following week’s issue so I shot a roll of Ilford FP4 that night.
I really like black and white and I love the drama of those Future shots, but subsequently I wanted to photograph in colour because it was a really colourful scene.
The popularity of the acid house story meant that during that summer I was sending the slides to Sweden and Spain, France and Germany, and that’s probably why quite a few got lost.
