Dear London; When I grow up I want to be............
Within the city that never sleeps I have chosen to look at the hotel service men and women that open doors, call taxis, carry luggage or even just greet the customers,similar to my answer to the Plymouth project I will be creating a typology of hotel doormen, however the difference is this project will have an extra link, not only do they all share the same occupation I will ask them all the exact same question and then take their picture Incorporating their answer.
I was thinking a lot about the question, should it be something directly related to their job? Or something completely obscure? however the more I thought about it, the more I wondered do you ever here of a child who wants to be a hotel doormen? Although I'm sure its a great honour to hold the door for, or park the car for the rich and famous I can't imagine it's what they have always wanted to do!
The whole idea also fits in with the fact that London or 'The city that never sleeps' is a massive place where the young (and old) flock to pursue their dreams however many never quiet achieve their goals and end up with slightly more ordinary jobs.
