Andrew Moodie's gallery

These are some of the photographs that I have been taking since early 2003, the project is called Do You Play Basketball?

“I am very very tall, 6 feet and 10 inches tall actually, and being that big prompts total strangers in every kind of public place you can think of to tell me I'm tall or tell me they've got a friend who's tall, or they just ask me questions. Over the years I've heard some unbelievable questions like how long do I think I have to live? or how do I fuck?

I wish I'd been carrying a camera around years and years ago when some well-meaning idiot was telling me I was the tallest guy he had ever seen while I was throwing up in the toilet of my favourite bar. (You're not going to believe this but it was heat stroke, not the beer. Honest, I'd been stacking bales of peat moss all day!)

Anyway, since 2003 I have carried a compact 35mm camera around with me everywhere I go in order to photograph every stranger that comes up to me and says something to me. It's a therapeutic exercise. First of all it's a subtle way of getting back in the face of people who have entered my space ininvited, and it's a great way of illustrating to others how people who aren't of an average size or appearance are sometimes treated as public property. And certainly I think looking at these pictures is better than listening to me moan about how clothes marked XXL still don't fit, or the lack of leg room on airplanes.
