John Duncan

Besides being the Editor of Source Magazine http://www.source.ie/index.html (one of my favourite reads) John Duncan is also a fine documentary photographer. Evan Williams co-founder of twitter once said that "The best ideas are those that seem obvious in retrospect" and I felt that when I saw Duncan's Boom 2 series http://www.johnduncan.info/work/botown/botown00.html and could have kicked myself for not thinking of it, and applying it to the regeneration of Manchester. I love the way that Duncan's work runs between pure Documentary and conceptual photography, http://www.johnduncan.info/ and that his work is rooted in a place, Belfast, that he know's well.
