‘The first time I visited the Cracker,’ says Pannack, ‘I passed this small group on the path. We were reunited a few weeks later and I took this shot. The Cracker was burnt black from all the fires kids had started during the heatwave.’ Pannack’s portraits are at the Blast! festival of photography, Sandwell, until 29 June .
