THE RING OF KERRY I have been travelling to and from Ireland now for about twenty-five years, since the time I met and married my wife Denise who comes from a small place called the Horse and Jockey (Yes, I did say “place” – it’s not a pub), which is about five miles outside a little town called Thurles on the main Dublin to Cork road. We have travelled extensively in Ireland from the Gaelic speaking Gaeltacht outside Navan in the North, to Galway in the west, Waterford on the East coast, and Kerry in the South, and a hundred and one places in between. On our last excursion we went to the Dingle Peninsula which is on the South West coast and juts out into the Atlantic Ocean, our destination being the Blasket Islands which is the most westerly point on the map of Europe. |

FRANK COHEN LRPS: A MEMBER PROFILE My first photographic experience would be sitting on a Liverpool street pavement one summer making sun prints. That was probably at age six. I can’t claim to have become a dedicated photographer from then on, but at eighteen I found myself doing national service in Egypt with a camera borrowed from my Dad. This was a Kodak 820 folding camera, quite large and taking only eight shots on a roll of film—when you could get one. This being the case, I was sure to make every shot count, a habit that persists even today with my digital camera. |

MY EXPERIENCE OF PHOTOGRAPHY My introduction to photography happened in 1945 when my Dad (himself a keen photographer) bought me a Kodak Box Brownie. The interest was maintained through my school years, and so it seemed only natural when I was called up to do my National Service and I chose the RAF. The trade I chose was photography. Mind you it nearly didn't happen. My Mum thought I would have to fly, she preferred I did not, and at Cardington I was told "no way will you get this trade" unless I signed on for five years. And so it was my fifth choice out of five and guess what?...I got it and was posted to Wellesbourne Mountford near Stratford –upon-Avon to do my trade training. |

ELLIOTT ERWITT For those of you who are not familiar with the work of the American Magnum photographer Elliott Erwitt, I encourage you to go and see the current exhibition at the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television (NMPFT) in Bradford. I came across Erwitt when I started lecturing a few years back on the work of three American Magnum photographers who joined the agency during the 1950s: Eve Arnold, Dennis Stock and Elliott Erwitt. While all three are unique and brilliant in their own way, I developed a soft spot for Erwitt due to his wonderful combination of humour, compassion and love of humanity. |
