I found this to be a small, but interesting
exhibition.
There are 16 large aerial photos of
Edinburgh, all from RCAHMS' extensive
archive of Aerofilms photographs taken between 1919 and 1953.
The photos show just how different some
areas of Edinburgh used to be in an era when the city had more
industry.

I visited the Exhibition this afternoon.
There were 49 photos taken during World War II on display,
including 24 from Edinburgh Libraries'
Capital Collections
web site and 8 from Scotsman Publications Ltd. I had not
seen most of the photos previously.
This Exhibition and a play 'Leith at War' at
the same venue was one part of the Leith Festival, 14-22 June,
2014, The exhibition remains open after the end of the Leith
Festival, until 27 June.
Liz Hare of
Citadel Arts Group writes:
"Do look in to see some great
photos from private collections and from the Edinburgh Museums and
Libraries which may bring back memories for Leith's older
residents!"

A selection of prints from the 2014

This
London Salon of Photography
web site gives brief details of the Salon.
The Salon
currently has 42 Members - all prominent photographers

- Sandy
Cleland (Edinburgh)
- Rikki
O'Neill (Newport on Tay)
Membership of the
Salon is by invitation only. It has been holding its
Annual Exhibition of Photography since the early- 1900s. |
Neil
Scott (EPS Members' Exhibition Secretary) writes:
"The
London Salon is one of the best print-only salons around - indeed
the main ethos of the London Salon is to host an annual print
exhibition, which is shown at selected venues in Britain.
Edinburgh is the only
Scottish venue, the others being London, Smethwick and Bath." |
