Tony Ray-Jones
Notes on a small island
Tony Ray-Jones had a influence on the generation of documentary photographers in Britain in the 1970's and 1980's, in his notebooks that he left behind you can see his thoughts and ides, from the mundane, such as his guide to buying a secondhand car, to more professional thoughts such as 'Impressions of the North', and even sentiments about eccentricity, which he said was a point of pride among the British. while his subjects have been well documented, his perspective was unique among British Photographers in the 1960's, he captured the everyday, together with the bizarre and the rarefied.
Although this article isn't showing his work, i find it interesting to see how his thought poses and to be ale to see the thoughts and plans behind his photographs.
