Amateur Photographers

John M Whitehead
Hon FRPS

The photograph by John M Whitehead appeared in Photographs of the Year from 1900 to 1920.  He photographed romantic images, often of Scottish scenes.    [Kirk V Toft] 

He was one of three judges for the EPS International Exhibition held in February 1928, and featured in one of the poems to be found in EPS literature:  Reflections on Mr Murch's Recent Lecture.

The poem is written to the tune of bagpipe music.  The last verse reads:

If you can do just half the things I’ve mentioned,

Or even one or two supremely well,

You’ll be a downright regular Royal Fellow -

A Whitehead-Mortimer-Murch-McKissock-Dell.
