Bad Weather by Martin Parr | MAGNUM
Martin Parr, today known for his color images, established his career with this series of black and white photographs published as BAD WEATHER. The adage "write about what you know" somehow springs to mind, as bad weather is undoubtedly something the British know quite well. The images were taken between 1975 and 1982, and the use of fill-in flash, that was to become so recognizable in his later work, is already present. This, combined with Martin Parr's usual dry, humorous approach, make this first publication a real gem. (Andreas Bitesnich)
