Syd Shelton at Rivington Place

For any one in London, this exhibition is in my humble opinion well worth a visit. As well as chiming with much of my youth, the 24x36 inch enlargements made from his 35mm HP5 and Tri-X negatives truly demonstrate the power of 35mm for documentary photography.

Well worth it Nick. I went a couple of weeks ago and was so taken with it, I went again last Thursday. It is a trek from rural Norfolk but it was worth the journey. I even found the faces of people I knew from my youth in some of the images! An amazing journey in nostalgia and the power of 35mm monochrome!
