Chris Porsz is a well known street photographer from the UK. During the seventies and eighties, he worked the town of Peterborough where he clicked several shots of the local English youth who were his favorite subjects at the time. Be they punks, rebels, romantic couples he clicked them all but he also kept track of who they were. After several years, Chris decided to track down his subjects to see what they looked like and this was the results of his pictures 40 years ago. This was his most ambitious project released as part of his book reunions.

They were married a year later after this picture was taken when he was saying goodbye to her at Peterborough Railway Station. The couple never even knew they were being photographed. In 2009 Chris clicked them again where the couple live and work as teachers in Lichfield near Peterborough. They have two kids Tom and Jenny.
