Vita / Lebenslauf:
Peter is now semi-retired and lives in the North East of England, from where he specialises in landscape photography. He combines his love of photography with a lifelong interest in travel and European culture. In 2007 he spent nine weeks, in three visits, in France, visiting Vannes for the Festival International de la Photo de Mer in the Spring, Aubusson for the Tapestry festival in the Summer and Paris for the student riots in the Autumn, shooting more than two thousand images. The focus of his research lies in the forgotten landscape and the lives of the people who built our early transportation systems. His practice utilises medium format and 35mm digital photography, digital video, historical text and images in an effort to provide an insight into a bygone age. His earlier work on disused railways looked at the remaining trace elements of the branch lines that were discarded during the 1960�s. Peter�s latest work examined the transport system that was killed off with the advent of the railway system and in so doing highlighted a variety of sophisticated skills that were largely taken for granted in the day to day life ofthe typical navigator. He, of that itinerant army of rumbustious workers to whom a great debt is owed. In December 2007 Peter was awarded the degree MA Photography at the University of Sunderland. His work, �Stairway to Heaven�, was exhibited at the National Gallery for Contemporary Art, Sunderland, from 7th December 2007 to 26th January 2008. His current work, "Gateway to Heaven" will exhibit at L'Office du Tourisme, Aude en Pyrénée 24th October - 4th November 2001.
