Transcription
This is a photographic negative produced by photographer Ian Beesley. A label on the back of the folder in which they are stored reads 'De Puy, Thackray Beeston Leeds 5th August 2011', possibly referring to the DePuy Sythes R&D centre in Beeston.
This image depicts a man wearing safety goggles and ear defenders. I'm assuming that he's working at some kind of machine, but a large object is blocking his entire body below his neck. His head is the main part of the picture that is in focus. There is a clock in the background, its time roughly reading 10:05.
This was part of a project called 'Thackray Remembered' (Thackray 2011) which was commissioned by the Thackray Medical Museum to document the closure of a Thackray factory which manufactured hip and knee replacements.
