I’ve been working my way through the job lot of journals I rescued from the Liverpool Museums building revamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s around 2000 periodicals to look through. From the 1960s to the early 2000s. Its the earlier publications that I’m probably more interested in, as I think the period between the 1920s -1970s is a little under studied and of less interest (at the moment) compared to the early origins of photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m particularly interested in any articles or letters concerning Heritage Imaging (including specific imaging methods) and articles related to photographic education,  these tend to be more technical than  artistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Industrial and Commercial Photographer magazine I had never heard of, but I have issues spanning a couple of decade’s. Subjects include all manner of commercial and industrial photography, including forensics, medical, and heritage imaging.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I’ll put together a blog post later in the year about education and heritage imaging, but I’ll post the odd oddity now and again that catches my eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s today’s from June 1966…<\/p>\n\n\n

“More than once during the non-public days at our exhibition in Manchester, I approached a scruffy young person and asked how he got his ticket of admission (admission was carefully controlled so that stand-holders would be able to concentrate on genuine buyers).
In every case, I was told that the young person was a student at a school of photography, and this leads me to suggest that teachers should have a word with these baggy and hirsute young people and make them attend to their appearance. (One unwashed freedom-lover with whom I tried to discuss the subject at the exhibition remarked: They’re paid to teach me; not to smell me.) I appreciate that this is the era of ‘freedom’, and this neglect of hygiene and appearance is one of the ways in which a certain type of young person flaunts this freedom, but I think it is a waste of time teaching people photography unless we are reasonably sure that we can place them in good jobs when their training is completed. I cannot imagine any employer giving one of these ‘sick’ young people a second glance, no matter how clever the applicant claimed to be at making photographs. If a person is untidy in dress and habit, he cannot be neat and methodical in his work. Besides,
we have our existing staffs to consider.
If I were a teacher, I would just refuse to have dirty, untidy young people in my class.
