Musings on the photographic experiences of keith greenough. Once again a long delay since posting. However I am pleased to report that I am taking part in a group exhibition with Sarah-Jane Field and John Umney this coming November. The exhibition will take place at Oxford House in Bethnal Green from 10th until 29th November with a private view from 6 until 8.

My dad died in 1986 and, for some reason, I decided to go back to Southey and drive around all the streets; past the house where I had been born, the house nearby where we went to live when I was about 7, my infant and junior schools and the shops. It was so depressing! 2011 was a shock in a different way. That was good as previously large hedges had prevented access.

The other day I read about a 17. Century map found shoved up a chimney in North East Scotland. It was in a ball shape and had perhaps been stuffed in the chimney to stop draughts coming down. The heap of dusty fragments was painstakingly re-constructed and conserved at the National Library of Scotland each delicate piece heap by heap. On page 15 ,. And I watched a video about it here.
