Photography Exhibition : Glasgow
Business as Usual : Jenny Wicks
Jenny Wicks has an interesting exhibition on at the moment; it's on in The Arches in Glasgow. She is displaying a collection of photographs depicting moments in the life of 89-year-old identical twins and former mechanics Dick and Ted. Apparently they are considered local heroes in their home of Preston. Not superheroes mind; that would be Tom Finney.
Here's a link to the exhibition ... link

Photography Exhibition : Livingston
Analogue Decay : Alastair Cook
The Howden Park Centre in Livingston is a fantastic venue I recently discovered. At the moment it has an interesting photography exhibition by photographer Alistair Cook. In these days of sterile digital imagery it's refreshing to see images celebrating the imperfections of analogue photography. Alastair explores the natural decay of the chemical process and connections between people, land and heritage.

Photography Exhibition : Edinburgh
August Sander
Where do you start with the likes of photographer extraordinaire August Sander? By using some of the wordage about him from the National Galleries of Scotland website? Yeah why not?!?
"In the 1920s and early 1930s, a new approach to photography – use of close focus, a greater objectivity and a concentration on modern life – was pioneered in Germany. It closely paralleled the New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit) movement in painting, graphics and film, which included the work of Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, George Grosz and Christian Schad.
One of the major figures of the new German photography and a key figure in the history of photography in general was August Sander. Best known for his portraits, which formed the basis of his commercial studio, he set out on an ambitious project to photograph all layers of German society from the farmers and country-people, through the workers, craftsmen, technicians and industrialists in the towns and cities, on to people who were sick and disabled".
This exhibition is really really a must-see! Here's a link to it ... link to it
