We'll report tonight on Rankin's new interactive exhibition opening in London.
The photographer is famous for his portraits of the likes of Kate Moss, Madonna, Tony Blair and the Queen.
But now, ordinary people from across Britain can apply to be shot by Rankin.
Their pictures will be hung in the exhibition, just 15 minutes later.
Here's our reporter, Yvonne Murray, among other exhibits, Dan Gray and Sam Rowland. All three photos "© Rankin":

Can you take my photee? The only thing is, I'm not young and glamorous...in fact, quite weather beaten. Speaking of which, I've just looked out of the window...the sun is shinning at the moment.

Strange to say, FF, I saw a resemblance between Photo 1 and Frances de la Tour (in her yoof, I hasten to add!). I've obviously been watching to many episodes of Rising Damp.

Is being shot by Rankin like assisted suicide?

AM/PM Glass boxes I am confused now! so I will just try this box!
Lord Bedd Gelert: Fair jibe re the donner as opposed to donor spelling!
As for rich using our NHS doctors for immediate private care - this is well known in the NHS and is the main reason for the Uk consultant waiting lists for NHS patients. (a scandal peculiar only to this country in the EU). I live close to Harley Street and walk along there regularly also have friend who works in a private clinic. It is easy to find all this out - PM could do a report as good as the one yesterday on Polish hotel cleaners being exploited. EDdi?? why not??
Fear less Fred 'our boys' are volunteers - arguably just as are security guards. Sadly they have chosen to go there. If the police badge read Harry Patch's 'poem' "War is Organised Murder" I might support it. But come on, this is blatant . Troops should be conscripted if at all and then only in a situation of genuine attack on our homeland - and perhaps even not then since conquerors and empires always fall eventually - as Hitler of course would have. Is the death and injury toll worth this fight? And some say it is about controlling pipe lines anyway!!!!! Passive resistance, as my conscripted Hungarian friend who was forced to serve in the 'Russian'/Hungarian army says, can be effective in that many refused to do Russian in school with their teachers' collusion so that when he had to erect telecommunications equipment for the Warsaw pact exercises, it could not be done as the instructions were in Russian and no one could read it even. Ha Ha ha so they just sent scribbled messages by foot calling at many bars enroute. (His part in the cold war)Another massive fraud on taxpayers everywhere!

Nice! And I've just got myself a new camera today, how appropriate.
Shame Mr Rankin can't afford colour film...

You said that there was plenty of money in the photo of your class box yesterday. However, I saw a couple of one dollar bills and a number of coins. Do you sell the Big issue in your spare time?

I wonder Sequin. Could I apply "on behalf" of someone else?
If so, I'd like to have Tony Blair shot by Mr Rankin...
Superb photo's by the way.

Why is the time at the top of the page (between Eddie Mair and the date) 15:21?
Has Eddie borrowed the TARDIS?
Is Eddie the new Dr. Who?
I think we should be telt!

Jd 10, What if I do sell The Big Issue? Are you making fun of people who sell it? Rather attitudinalistic, that, innit?
