michaelkh Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I highly recommend 'The Edge Of The Land' - it's a lovely book, with beautiful photos and Godwin's clear-minded photojournalism on the passing of coastal communities (and a short but exquisitely spiked piece about National Trust control-freakery). Her photos of the Kent and Sussex coastline are amongst my favourites of the kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meisaki Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Indeed a Lady of great talent one thing that makes her work a landmark in the industry is her tounge in cheek sense of humour which hopefully has rubbed off on those she taught. One thing that caught my attention on the BBC link provided by Bob is that her fellowship with the "Royal Photographic Society" granted 1990 was honorary is there a reason why the closing paragraph of the article should not have read: granted fellowship as opposed to honorary. Thank You Fay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
