August Title - Post Industrial Britain

How I did it - The new picture 'Post Industral Britian'  is one of a series I am doing to depict how many of our industrial sites are now empty.  I use the idea of colour/mono to give emphasis - does it work ?  When I submit these sort of pictures to US exhibitions they do very badly but in UK and Europe get a better response - any comment ?

Member Bio

Tony Potter - Biography I am Tony Potter  ARPS, AFIAP,  DPAGB,  APAGB  from Workington in the north of England.  I have been taking pictures all my life and am a founder member of the West Cumbria Photo Group.  My photographic interest has always been in prints and was traditionally a darkroom worker until 5 or 6 years ago 'converted' to digital.  I photograph most things but over the past years as I have been able to travel more take pictures of people.  I am a great fan of the work of Sebastiao Salgardo and still do much work in monochrome.
