Hmmm.Care to summarize? I haven't got the energy for an hour and a half podcast
I've been keeping an eye on her work since the Shot at Dawn pictures.Blimey, have looked at her stuff and it is very good....and she's quite tolerable on the pretentiousness scale, too!
Isn't that what Parr does?...nice merry colour photos of happy good-looking rich people
Maybe you're not looking in the right places? To pick two 'big names' Homer Sykes and David Hurn have a more celebratory take on many things.It's just a minor bugbear of mine, so much documentary stuff is misery memoir. I know the campaigning needs to be done, but....just my angle on it....
As usual, Dave, you are the man to go to for references. 2 new ones to add to my bookmarksMaybe you're not looking in the right places? To pick two 'big names' Homer Sykes and David Hurn have a more celebratory take on many things.
Thanks for posting Dave, Chloe is one hell of a woman!
I actually saw that exhibition in the summer, TBH it didn't make much of an impression on me.
I got the book/catalogue and thought it was a bit patchy and not enough of it. https://www.martinparrfoundation.org/product/made-out-of-orchards-signed/I actually saw that exhibition in the summer, TBH it didn't make much of an impression on me.
I would have liked to see this too as not too far to travel.I got the book/catalogue and thought it was a bit patchy and not enough of it. https://www.martinparrfoundation.org/product/made-out-of-orchards-signed/
I missed her Morecambe Bay fishing exhibition in Lancaster but I think there is a book in production. What I've seen of that work on Twitter has looked good.
No. I just follow people/venues on Twitter and check websites now and then.I would have liked to see this too as not too far to travel.
but I rarely see publicity for photography exhibitions.
Do you know of any resources online that set out a calendar of events?
I kept meaning to go but never got round to it. As is usually the case for me with exhibitions.I vaguely recall seeing something about her Morecambe exhibition but it slipped my mind and wish I had gone to see it now.
There used to be a camera club in Halifax/Huddersfield/Harrogate/SomeYorkshireTownBeginningWithH that maintained a really good list of exhibitions and events but it stopped with coivd if not before. This site has a list of exhibitions - https://photography-now.com/exhibition/?type=A&country=GBDo you know of any resources online that set out a calendar of events?
An interesting and informative talk. It's funny how chance can play such a big part in someone's career..Mark Power. Can't comment yet as I'll watch after close of play at Lords.

I reckon so. Martin Parr says you also have to be obsessed to succeed.But he also has incredible drive and determination to succeed. Maybe both are needed to be successful?
It is he. I enjoyed another book of his too - What sport tells us about life.Is that Ed Smith the cricketer?
And to add to luck and determination, a smidgeon of talent. But not always.........
It's a while since I read them but I'd start with Luck. Used copies are dirt cheap.I'll have to look out for one of Ed Smith's books. As a cricket follower myself it should be an interesting read. Which would you recommend that is not *too* cricket/sport dominated?
