The photographs in this journal were taken during five days of roaming Leeds city centre. People were stopped and asked to consider a list of people in situations taken from the text of news stories in the previous day's Yorkshire Evening Post.

Participants were then invited to choose a situation they felt they could empathise with and embody it, right there and then, on the street, for camera. All the resulting 122 photographs, accompanied by captions of the selected situations, were brought together in a 20 page full colour tabloid newspaper The Post Echo, distributed by newsagents, vendors and venues across the city.
