Interesting article, he was in an exhibition at the Barbican a few years ago which I missed.

They're fantastic photographs aren't they? I am assuming there was some sort of colourisation technique going on there...the woman who appears twice appears to have very grey legs in the second shot.

There is a common belief that pictures like these must be taken by somebody who lives within the community and is trusted by them (see threads about Tish Murta elsewhere on this site), rather than (to use a favourite term of the photo-mafia) 'parachuted in'. Sometimes the latter works better because the photographer will see all sides as alien and their beliefs as irrational. It perhaps also helps if all the locals see the photographer as obviously not one of them and so not partisan. |

There are considerable differences in the posted link to the way that say Don McCullin covered the same events which would support the theory, not that Don is Irish. Both are in my opinion valid documentaries of the troubles, just different eyes on the same subject. |

I had recently looked again at my copy of Don McCullin's book 'Sleeping with Ghosts', which prompted my comments. |
