Exhibition

Posted on January 24, 2012

I’ll be exhibiting a selection of my colour photographs at The Eigth Day in Manchester from February. Dates TBC.

Further more, I’m trying to update this blog on a daily basis. Subscribe for regular updates!

Big thanks to Article Magazine for the following text:

“Quite often, street photography pays attention to extraordinary occurrences within a city. In contrast to the unusual and sometimes fantastical, Claire Atkinson manages to capture the more realistic, everyday perspective of the daily life of Manchester.

Atkinson’s ever-changing ‘Manc’ characters and backdrops show Manchester for its true self. The delightful personalities to be found on public transport, the caffeine-addicts through steamy café windows and the rushing feet of business along rainy pavements. We are not only given a taste of Manchester, but a rushing, blurry, reflection of Britain as a grumpy, ageing, multicultural nation.”

Never been to Manchester, but I’ve been lots of other places in England. Indeed, I used to live in East Anglia back in the ’70s.

Love your street photography. You have a good eye on what to capture.

I’m glad you alerted me to your blog. That eye for the unusual yet familiar, and quick decision making are important attributes for anyone shooting in the streets. Even though I have not visited Manchester for ten years It is one of my favorite cities definitely with its own character. As a city, though, it is transforming itself from historic to modern much too fast. Your Dale Street photo, for example, shows a brick building on the right. I bet you that is a building slated for removal. When I return to M/c in the next few years to visit family and friends it may well be gone. Stop my ramble, I love your photography always with something surprising and interesting.

Doesn’t really because you doing great regardless of what camera you’re using. Keep it up. By the by, thanks for the follow. I also followed you on Facebook as well.
