A exhibitions full of photographs by this man who loved Liverpool and has captured the news and events from the 1960’s through to his retirement in 2005. He was able to create work full of nostalgic feel and every image had a story to tell. His says “Much of my work involved sports and news stories but there were often quieter periods when I might see an everyday scene making a great picture.” And this adds to my thought that he was able to catch the culture, political, social and the evolution of the city. Some images were of ordinary people but then there were images with famous people like Cilla Black and Paul McCartney, which shows how, yes he took images of the stars but then was able to show all sides of Liverpool.
This image caught my eye is the one with images of people. They have such stories in there facial expressions that you can relate to there stories. Seeing images like this that have such a heart felt story behind them, was lovely to see and it was a great way of seeing how Liverpool was seen in somebody else’s eyes.
