William Eggleston's innovative colour work was promoted at MOMA in 1976 by John Szarkowski, keen to repeat his late sixties successes with Winogrand and Freidlander

Influenced heavily by the 'epic' photography in The Family of Man exhibition in 1955, Irish businessman John Hinde (an ex Circus performer - a showman at heart) achieved great commercial success with extraordinary, saturated colour postcards - intended to match peoples' memory of their holiday - not the stark, austere post-war reality

Tony Ray Jones died from Leukaemia in 1972 at the age of 31 - which is why so few people have heard of him

Umberto Eco published a very important book of collected writings in 1985, called 'Travels in Hyper-reality'. Eco discusses the media and the messages they send - and we receive. He's particularly interested in the idea of 'simulated reality' - theme parks, Disneyland and the madness of Las Vegas. Please follow this link and read a synopsis of his thoughts.

Digital Imaging – Stationary Assignment Hand in.

A very big thank you to everyone who worked really hard to get their work in on time! There is some great stuff being produced… and I am very pleased to say that at the moment, this group seems to understand the importance of dealines.

For the people who did not hand in on time, you are looking at a fail unless this work is on my desk before this Friday. You work will be peer assessed by Group B next week

There will be a late hand in box on my desk, please sign your work it in and put it in the box. Please make sure everything is packaged up neatly and that all parts are attached to one another. Anything not packaged or not sign in, that goes missing is your responsibility.

Currently in the hall of shame, and running the risk of failing this unit we have:

Amanda Connolly
Ryan Miller

If you have had genuine extenuating circumstances that may prevented you completing the assignment, please inform me (on a Monday or Tuesday) or Matthew ASAP.

Please remember that attendance to the peer assessment exercise next Tuesday the 20th of November is compulsory for all students to attend.
