As an exercise we have chosen 15 images by 15 different photographers that band together in one way or another and published them as an online exhibition.
I have represented the theme of black and white film photography but also, each photograph is a portrait and a social document of a time, place and an emotion. Over 110 years of time, several places (including USA and Britain) and people from many different walks of life have been brought together on this page.
Most of these images I already knew of but there are one or two that I have not seen before I started the curation of this page and much new information that I have learned.
