Long Dead

Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 12 October 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

A group of schoolchildren listening to a sound and light show at Manchester's Imperial War Museum using historic archive photos which tries to explain, as best it can in language they can understand, the terrible consequences of war.

I found the images extremely moving but I was glad that my own children were not with me.

(please excuse the image quality -the photo was taken using a small compact digicam - the room was so dark that I couldn't see the camera controls, neither did I have a tripod)

Hugo Poon records his home city Hong Kong in photographs so beautiful that they inspired me to start taking my own photos. Deeply humanist in his vision, Hugo claims that he is not a photographer. Why not visit his photoblog and decide for yourself.
