\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What one man saw, heard, thought and felt on a journey through England\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em> J B Priestly, quoted in English Journey<\/p>\n

I was pleased to hear from another British photographer, John Angerson<\/a>, who is heading out on the road documenting England. Angerson is following in the footsteps of J.B. Priestley<\/a> who wrote English Journey<\/a>, a celebrated account of his travels through rural and industrial England in the 1930s. 2009 marks the 75th anniversary of its publication.<\/p>\n

Angerson says his project will “highlight\u00e2\u20ac\u201c as Priestley did \u00e2\u20ac\u201c industry, migration, shifting communities, and citizenship, questions that were as relevant in the 1930s as they are now. Priestley\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s English Journey is an example of an individual\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s perception of place, and how a place is determined by the particular viewpoint from which it is observed. This is relevant to what we know about the nature of photography. Photographs are subjective- documentary photography can only ever be about the photographer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s perceptions of places, and people they encounter.”<\/p>\n

Here are some of his early photographs-<\/p>\n
