About the Ebook
In 1984 I was commissioned to produce photographs for a group exhibition to be held at Impressions Gallery, York. During July and August of that year I travelled around the North of England exploring what was to me an unfamiliar landscape. At that time Lewis Baltz and his fellow topographers had a huge influence on the way I viewed the world. I enjoyed their cool, detached style, and the focus on urban environments. However, while The New Topographics movement was concerned with documenting suburban sprawl in the New World, my images focused largely on the decline of the industrial
Old World. A selection of the resulting images was shown at Impressions Gallery, York in October 1984.
The following year I reprinted the images, along with a new selection from the hundreds of negatives I had shot. A hand-made book of the resulting 25 images formed part of my degree show. This new book is my re-edit of the images produced.
