A Long Exposure: 100 Years of Guardian Photography @ The Lowry

Don McPhee exhibition in my kitchen

Braved the wind and the rain and the "Britain's Got Talent (apparently)" auditions and headed to The Lowry yesterday to see "A Long Exposure: 100 Years of Guardian Photography" Was especially looking forward to seeing the late Don McPhee's work.http://www.guardian.co.uk/slideshow/page/0,,2043336,00.html I rate the above photo of the police and miners one of THE great British, newspaper pictures. It's a good exhibition, tracing not only the work of some great photojournalists but also the history of news pictures. I loved seeing the old kit for sending pictures, a bit different than a jpeg attachment!

Well worth a visit, until 1st March 2009 http://www.thelowry.com/WhatsOn/EventDetail.aspx?EventId=3466 and here for a presentation from The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/interactive/2008/oct/21/theguardian-pressandpublishing
