In second-hand bookshops and at car boot sales, I find it impossible to resist any dog-eared copies of
Picture Post magazine, the publication that did for the genre of British photojournalism what
Life magazine - the inspiration for
Picture Post - did for the American genre. While writing a documentary brief for a class of A-level photography students, I was thrilled to find a link between my home town of Harrogate,
Picture Post magazine and, somewhat surprisingly via William Shakespeare, the
Hulton Getty picture library in Seattle, Washington, USA.
