dc.description.abstract | One of the first things that reached me about photography was how a photograph tells
a story or stories. This experience is perhaps most common when viewing personal
photographs. A few years ago I was looking through a vast number of personal
photographs, of a family I knew well, and was struck by how all the photographs (in
albums, framed or lying loosely about) were part of a particular family narrative. Even
without the storytelling, which accompanied my viewing of the photographs, I could
still 'read' bits and pieces of the family history (and the broader social, political and
cultural histories) in their photographs. | |
