London Photos Peter Marshall
Family Pictures
was one of the first web sites I wrote, when putting pictures on the web
was a novelty. The pictures date from the late 70s and early 80s, and
were made when taking family photography seriously was almost unheard
of.
Pure Genius
was an event to mark the first anniversary of the occupation of the Wandsworth
Eco-Village site in May 1996. For around 6 months an area of long derelict
land sprang into alternative life.
London Arts Café
is an organisation to promote art in and about cities. I wrote the website
and have provided some of the pictures on it. There are also some pictures
from an exhibition I curated, 'Cities of Walls, Cities of People', shown
in Nov-Dec 2001.
4 on London
is a site I wrote about a photography exhibition in London early in 2000,
where I was one of the four photographers whose work was shown.
Countdown2000
was the Millennium project of a London based photography group which is
adding a picture a day to the site throughout 2000, taken on the corresponding
day in 1999. This project also produced a CD-ROM which has a similar interface
to the web site, but also includes virtually every picture submitted for
the project - over 700 images taken in London by over 40 photographers.
This is a great example of simple interface design by Samuel
Marshall.
Café Ideal,
Cool Blondes & Paradise
colour pictures of London in the late 80s and early 90s by Peter Marshall
which look at shop windows and other ways in which people advertise their
presence on the streets.
my london diary
a diary of my photography in London - covering events an my wanderings
around the capital and occasionally outside it, as well as some of my
comments on it. So far some work from Jan-December 2000 is online, though
I expect to add more.
FrameWork
was a kind of laboratory for developing photographers through a series
of critical meetings and exhibitions. This unfinished site shows some
of the history of this group which organised around 20 exhibitions. I
have some further material to add, but would also welcome contributions
from others who were involved.
LipService
was the Journal of London Independent Photography, a group I helped to
found around 1989. I edited this magazine for around five years, producing
a magazine with a number of challenging features which gained a wider
readership for its later issues on the web. The content from these is
still available online. I resigned as editor when writing professionally
elsewhere took up too much of my time.
Fixing Shadows
is one of the best non-commercial photographic portfolio sites on the
web, thanks to the enthusiasm of its founder, David Sapir. There are portfolios
from some fine photographers, including several well known names, and
some historical figures.
Other sites that I have written include those for Spelthorne College (now replaced), the Ashram Community and the Journey Course.
About Photography
I no longer have any connection
with the photography site at About.com, Inc. The several thousand
articles I wrote for that site from May 1999-May 2007 are no longer on
line. You may be able to find some of them in the 'Internet Archive'.
Web sites wishing to republish any of the material can still do so by
contacting About.com and making the licence payment required.
If you have an interest in photographs or the history of photography, you will find a considerable amount of information at the Luminous Lint web site, designed for the professional and fine art photographer, serious amateurs and photography collectors, to which I have contributed a few pieces.
