Jo Spence and Thomas Rousset




Photo at very top and two below are by Thomas Rousset. The Picture directly above is by Jo Spence.

Been having a look through the library's photography books. not that they have a vast selection but came across this lady whose book is called cultural sniping. theres some quite increadable photos init and shamefully i can't find any on google to post up. she seems to be a bit of forgotton hero. Even though many modern bristih artist cite her as an influence. aslo increadbaly intresting from a nursing perpestcive as unfoanlty she dvelops breast cancer. the book is written by her as she's in a hospice and got printed after her death but she rights good accounts of the patient experince and take's some quite honest photos of herself coming to terms with her illness and death.

aslo found this bloke Thomas Rousset. well didn't really find him i've had his theme for my igoogle page for ages but never actually thought about googling who the bloke actually was. anyway his igoogle thing is great and his other stuff on his website is preety darn good as well! http://www.thomasrousset.com/
