Cardiff Before Cardiff

Cardiff based photographer Keith S Robertson created a huge body of documentary photography in the late 70s and early 80s. I discovered the prints and negatives whilst renovating Warwick Hall, a building in the Gabalfa area of Cardiff, and was instantly struck by the quality of the prints and the vibrant, positive atmosphere depicted. As time goes by I have been shooting Cardiff in a response to Keith's work. The work became a major exhibition in the Wales Millennium Centre in 2012, and has been documented in a book http://www.ylolfa.com/en/dangos.php?ISBN=9781847715715 Jon Pountney 28.02.11 updated 03.04.13 [email protected] http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002162845015
