Finally got my Dad’s photographic archive under my roof!

Opened a random box, and out popped a lovely pair of Raquel Welsh…shots.

I’ll be posting a shedload more in the coming days. It’ll be a jaunt through the absolute golden era of photography. Never to be repeated (sadly).

Peter Williams

Obituary: He was one of the finest photographers working in advertising and editorial photography

@blabberlicious What a great story of a life full of art and love!
@blabberlicious I keep thinking of the film Blow Up when I see your posts about him, and his photos. He must have related to that world. What an amazing time to be alive, and doing what he was doing.
@alexanderdyas
Yes. It would have broken his heart to see how wantonly photography is being destroyed.

Reminded : I have an old friend called Anthony Stern. A glass blower. He was into shooting gorilla films in the 60s, and made the first psychedelic pop promo for pink Floyd.

Shot 35mm all through the period.
I have some amazing pics of Stones, Julie Christie at a squat party and Cat Steven’s getting hammered in Battersea Park!

Amazing studio. Sadly Parkinson’s has claimed his talent 🥲
