In 1968, photographer Jürgen Schadeberg was in Glasgow, Scotland. “The Gorbals in Glasgow in the sixties suffered from deep poverty which negatively affected families and children but there still existed a spirit of hope. The UK in the sixties was a grey place for me with a large poverty gap. My photo projects highlighted this divide including the homeless in London, life in Hackney and the non swinging side of Soho and in contrast the Cambridge May Ball and open day at Eton School.” – Jürgen Schadeberg More on the site, including our interview with him, which sadly was the last he gave before he passed away. #glasgow #scotland #pubs #photography #1960s #gorbals #photo #photos #photograph #photographer #documentaryphotography #documentary https://www.instagram.com/p/CpPzyr6s9_d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
