Caught on Camera

Noticed an interesting article in the Telegraph: Edwin Smith’s England caught on Camera

It’s all about an architect, Edwin Smith, who was also a photographer building a substantial collection of photographs that are now very well looked after.

In this digital age it makes me wonder if we are losing a chunk of history - photographs that are never printed, but still important as a record of the world around us. After all I doubt Edwin Smith appreciated the extent to which the British landscape may change when he composed some of his photographs.
