Alfred Wainwrights Snowdonia viewpoints

[simonkit]

It's not very well known but Alfred Wainwright spent some time around the Snowdonia mountains as well as the Lake District. Although he didn't produce any walking routes he made a series of 101 sketches from his favourite viewpoints, these were published in the form of a sketch book in 1982.

A couple of years ago myself, several other photographers and a local publisher, with the permission of Wainwrights estate, set out to recreate Wainwrights sketches as photographs and the project has now completed. Sorry for the commercial link but there's a free sample that gives an idea of what's been created - just thought it might be of interest.

The book looks really good, Simon, bet it was a challenge to get some shots as the terrain has changed so much since Wainwright did those sketches!

I will buy either the download or the cd, just need to decide which.
