If you’re in Edinburgh, Scotland, between now and the 19th April then try and visit the National Gallery of Scotland, and there you can see one of my gypsy images, from 1994, in an exhibtion called “25 Years of Photography, Celebrating the Anniversary of the National Collection“.
On show are 27 images by 26 photographers, and as well as my own work, there are photographs by Thomas Annan, David Octavius Hill, Roger Mayne, Patricia Macdonald, George Rodgers and Calum Colvin and others.
From the gallery website:
‘This small exhibition is designed to show some of the wealth of Scottish photography – both historic and modern – collected for the nation in the last twenty-five years.
The Scottish National Photography Collection was set up by the National Galleries of Scotland in 1984, in recognition of the impressive Scottish contribution to the art. It has been designed to collect, research, exhibit and publish on photography, with a Scottish bias to its energies.
From the wealth of the Collection, photographs have been selected under three broad headings of ‘People’, ‘Land and Stone’, and ‘Staged and Constructed’ to illustrate the remarkable work of the first quarter-century.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a conference on 28 March, when the newly-revised edition of The Companion Guide to Photography in the National Galleries of Scotland will be published’.
