The Ceremony of Life: Early Works by Martin Parr
Delightful exhibition at the Photographers’ Gallery of work for sale by Martin Parr.
I have seen and
loved Parr's work before with its close observation of British life in the 70s
and 80s. The work came from various series by him including “Bad Weather” and
“The Non-Conformists”.
I am partiality
fond of his pictures from around Calderdale in West Yorkshire as it’s an area I
know well and he catches its eccentricities. I’m very fond of the picture I am
using here of an old man balanced precariously on a step ladder to wash the
window above his front door.
