About For Every Minute you are angry you Lose Sixty Seconds of Happiness from Germain's website
So, this is a series of photographs made over 8 years of the quiet, contemplative existence of Charles Snelling. He is an elderly man living alone in a small house in Portsmouth, shown alongside pages from Snelling’s own photo albums. ‘I met Charles Albert Lucien Snelling on a Saturday in April, 1992. He lived in a typical two up two down terraced house amongst many other two up two down terraced houses… It was yellow and orange. In that respect it was totally different from every other house on the street…. ….Charlie was a simple, gentle, man. He loved flowers and the names of flowers. Loved colour and surrounded himself with colour. He loved his wife. Without ever trying or intending to, he showed me that the most important things in life cost nothing at all. He was my antidote to modern living.’ Julian Germain, from the book ‘For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness’, SteidlMack, 2005
