Well done!! I'm off to the Baltic next week to peruse Chris' work. Much of what he photographed in Wallsend etc has now long disappeared but some of the street names retained if not the buildings. Including Joan Street that was pronounced 'Jo An'. I'm much looking forward to my first viewing (there will probably be more). I suspect I'll be moved as much as my viewing of Anthony Gormley's 'Domain' some 20 years ago that was specifically commissioned for the Baltic not long after it opened. Another great example of regeneration in the Northeast.
Thank you Harry! I hope you find the exhibition as moving as I did. I will be fascinated to hear your thoughts - especially given your knowledge of many of the locations he photographed.
I know what you mean but interestingly the Martin Parr Foundation looks after much of the archive. Although they had / have different ways of documenting Britain, they had a mutual respect.

Guess so; hmm, well Magnum was always an absorbent institution and Parr believes himself a universe (including everything). Although respect levels are different in both: what stupid things you do vs. such a noble lives you carry on
Thank you! Yes it's worth spending some time looking at his work. He immersed himself in the communities he photographed and his life work is a moving document of the changing times the UK went through in the 70's and 80's.
I saw the exhibit, it was profound! So great you got to do his website. Thanks so much for the insight into your process. :)
May I ask did you need to add any extra original coding to the website design or was it straight from a Squarespace template that you then edited using their tools to suit Killip?
I always use the blank template in Squarespace as I prefer to start from scratch. I added a little bit of CSS (for the drop down menu indicator and the hover over the navigation), but that was the only extra coding.
Indeed. I love that this project came out of a Twitter post. You're carving out an impressive niche supporting photography legacies online, Andrew. Much respect for everything you do!

It's a lovely virtual home for such a striking body of work. Newly converted to Chris' work and look forward to looking longer and at more of it.
Thank you Matt and I'm glad you are a new convert. I think he is one of the UK's best and most influential photographers.
Never heard about. Like the antithesis of Parr

Nicely done. It had been a while since I'd looked through his photographs. Thanks for the reminder and great job on the site.
Thank you very much. I hope you enjoy rediscovering his work.
GREAT design! Can’t wait to dig more into his work when I have some time set aside!

It was a very powerful exhibition.

Amazing! Wish had those skills! Thanks for replying. :)
Thank you for commenting!
Awesome! Thanks, Andrew.
Thank you Andy. I think you mentioned his last book, Chris Killip 1946 - 2020, on a recent social media post? It's a fine book.
Indeed. I love that this project came out of a Twitter post. You're carving out an impressive niche supporting photography legacies online, Andrew. Much respect for everything you do!
Yes, some good things still happen on Twitter! Thank you for your support and thank you for doing all that you do to support photography.
