I went to see the McCullin pictures today. They are worthy portraits, beautifully printed (by DM), but rather unexciting. Except that the prints are a little darker than average there's nothing to really single them out as pictures by Don McCullin. However, I did learn that he has a book coming out soon about the British. It apparently consists of new photos plus a selection of his photos taken in the 1960s and 1970s. I have a copy of his first book about the British - Homecoming. If the new one is as good we're in for a treat.
I also went to see the Motherland pictures by Simon Roberts at the Photographers' Gallery. It was rather disappointing. There are about 10 pictures - very large C prints - shown on the stairs and landing at the Print Room. The pictures are superb, but there are too few of them and they are not as well presented as I expected. I think his forthcoming book will be better. There are some very interesting pictures in the main gallery by 2 photographers whose names I can't remember. Photos from North Korea, and photos from a bar/brothel in Scandinavia somewhere. -- Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Peter Lacus > Sent: 10 February 2007 19:20 > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List > Subject: Re: Faith and Church > > > http://www.npg.org.uk/live/wofaithchurch.asp > > thanks for these announcements, Bob. > > Cheers, > > Peter -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
