An essay by John Cogan
“The gods of weather and photography smiled upon the gathering. From their lofty position on top of Penshaw Monument they felt, for once, benign. Rain earlier on had settled the dust and cleared some of the atmosphere. The sun shone from a sky sufficiently cloudy to provide a decent amount of contrast should we chose to use a yellow lens filter. However, no-one has told the gods we now have Photoshop. Still, they thought they were doing us a favour.”
So begins John’s report from the front line of Beamish Museum’s Great North Steam Fair photographers’ night April 2012.
