The Glesga That I Used To Know : Scotland Street School


Scotland Street School Museum (in Glasgow) is a Charles Rennie Mackintosh masterpiece. And from 3rd June 2011 until January 2012 it's giving you a chance to see Glasgow of the 1970's. Photographs taken during that decade will be on display and they show Glaswegians going about their daily lives as the city's landscape transforms around them. These are the kind of exhibitions I love. Here's a link for more details ... link

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.

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.
