Today I took a trip to visit the photography exhibition at Manchester Art Gallery.
The exhibition being ‘Strange and Familiar: Britain as Revealed by International Photographers’ and considers how international photographers from the 1930s onwards have captured the social, cultural and political identity of the UK.
The exhibition celebrates the work of leading photographers, including Henri Cartier Bresson, Bruce Davidson, Rineke Dijkstra, Bruce Gilden and Evelyn Hofer. And brings together over 250 compelling photographs.
There is a lot to see and it takes over most of the gallery extensions 2nd floor.
Its well worth a visit and I shall go again sometime as it is on until 29th May.

Re: Manchester Art Gallery Exhibition
I got around to seeing this exhibition at last - it is excellent.
There is a series of huge, full face portraits cropped very tight and enlarged to fill the wall. The detail is stunning but the effect is very unsettling.
