摘要：A first serious interest in photography began for me while
pursuing a degree in the history of art in 1975 at Leicester
Polytechnic. The opportunity to develop and print my own
photographs created a deeper involvement with the medium.
Later in 1979 an interest in the history of photography developed
while doing an MA degree in the history and theory
of art at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. My MA dissertation
was on the first photographer in England, the inventor
of the calotype process, W H Fox Talbot. A study of
Talbot revealed to me the incredible depth of photography;
its limit is the mind, and within the mind, you have the link
to an individual person. What communicates is not just the
subject, but also a human quality. Later this is what Paul
Hill’s workshops identified for me.
