Jane Cowan, Propagating a dream (Doco/Photojournalism (2019))

In a world gripped by 'go big or get out', one man had a bold idea. Go small. Never has there been a more reluctant hero of his own story. You will never know this old orchardist's name because he prefers to remain anonymous. You will hardly get a good look at his face. But in a quiet triumph of risk and innovation, he has done what few can claim: he created something original. At 75, he insists the moral of a lifetime spent inventing a tiny apple that no-one knows about is 'don't give up your day job'. But it could be 'never stop searching'.
