Just a short walk-around a part of the 'City Stories' exhibition at Aberystwyth University School of Art gallery running until January. The work was made between 1969 and 1977. 

One half of the exhibition deals with images taken mainly in Splott, Cardiff at the time that the area was being 'redeveloped' and the long-standing working class community broken up. 

The other part of the show are photographs taken around Cardiff City centre at a time just before it began its own redevelopment and transition from its post war look and feel.

 Photo books and exhibition catalogues are a great and inexpensive way for folks to have a great collection of images. This is why contemporary documentary photographers are keen to distribute their work in this way. Exhibitions are great of course, especially when they tour, seeing original prints at first hand is a unique experience. 

However, the audience for those is by definition going to be limited and as documentary photographers want their work to be seen by as wide an audience as possible, the book or catalogue is a great way to distribute the work.

To make this easier for anyone wishing to acquire one of my publications I have set up an online shop here: https://petedavisphotography.bigcartel.com/

Shipping is to within the UK only at present.

The selection available will change from time to time. Many of the publications are limited editions and there are very few left of some so once they are gone, they are gone. The various descriptions of what's available at the moment are featured below.

56 page, signed, 210 x 210 mm catalogue published to accompany the new touring exhibition of this work first seen nearly 40 years ago. The original slim catalogue sold out almost immediately and has become a collector's item. This new publication contains a facsimile reproduction of the original catalogue plus all the images that were in the original exhibition plus some images never printed before. There are also essays by Geoff Young, owner of Ffotogaleri - y - Gofeb, Pete Davis and Susan Daniel-McElroy who, as director of Ffotogallery Cardiff in 1984, produced the original exhibition and catalogue.
