| The Caravan Gallery : Is Britain Great? |
|
 After its popular visit to the Glasgow International Festival The Caravan Gallery can set up camp next to the Christmas tree. Finding the extraordinary in the ordinary, Is Britain Great? is a bumper publication full of photographic observations of the British working classes, in particular, at play, at the shops, at home, on their hols and on the streets. They tour the seaside resorts and urban landscapes north and south of the country turning the camera away from the main event. This photo book will provide hours of collective study instead of hours staring at Christmas telly. (£15.00)

Tom Normand : Scottish Photography - A History
|
|
 A photograph is a distilled, charmed, disturbing, intense, and ethereal correspondence with the world: a talisman empowered by the ineluctable mystery of the visual. Tom Normand Normand examines the photograph as an object, a form of documentary, and as a memorial; and the ways in which the Scottish connection has altered or defined these forms. The history of photography from Scotland has never before been given its proper place in world photography; and nor has it been told so well. "This book is a great pleasure to read and offers much insight into a subject which yields a feast of visual engagements. It also serves to illustrate the great cultural value and international recognition that is within our grasp, if Scotland were to build a National Photographic Gallery."The Scottish Review of Books - Vol 4, Number 1 2008. (£29.99) For more info and a selection of images from the book, click here. |
