BACK IN THE DAY
Unique Tish Murtha. Back in the day Tish Murtha was photographing the day to day, the normal, the kids playing out, knocking about with their mates. Working class people, many on the dole, the unemployed. The forgotten. Proper gritty urban life.
ORDINARY BECOMES EXTRAORDINARY
At the time Tish’s pictures were of the ordinary. As the years roll by the pictures of the ordinary become simply extraordinary. Hard to believe that life was really like that for some people.
CHALLENGE TO PHOTOGRAPHERS
The challenge to photographers is this: I accept that there is a sunrise and sunset every day. Some sunrise and sunsets are spectacular, with some worth photographing. The Tish Murtha’s of today are wondering round the streets, old factories & derelict buildings photographing “the ordinary places & the ordinary people”. These ordinary pictures will be the pictures that we marvel at in years to come. Perhaps the powerful force is the nostalgia, memories, and the thoughts that they provoke?
ELLA MURTHA
Ella, Tish’s daughter, has made it her mission to get her mam’s work the recognition it deserves. Looking for inspiration? Here’s the link to the official website of Tish Murtha: Tish Murtha
STILL NOT GOT THE CHALLENGE?
Still not got the challenge? Remember that Indian restaurant, old school, local factory, the petrol station that got knocked down? The list of photographic opportunities keeps rolling on by. As the saying goes, when they’re gone, they’re gone! How many times do you hear someone say, “I wish I’d took a photo before….”!
