Roger Redfern - author, writer and photographer - had been writing
about his travels and exploration of different areas of Britain and
abroad for over 50 years, most notably as a regular contributor to
The Guardian newspaper's Country Diary feature. He is the author of
over 30 books and was once described as 'the doyen of countryside
writers', an accolade that recognised his lyrical and poetic
writings about his travels. This book, the first in a short series,
reveals the unknown side of Redfern, his photography, in stunning
fashion. This first volume, to be followed by A Mountain Camera and
An Island Camera, focuses upon his images of Britain's countryside
from his wanderings amongst the hills, valleys and villages of
rural England, Wales and Scotland. He always had a camera with him
to record his journeys; the countryside, the people and animals,
and the weather - all captured on colour slides that date back to
the 1950s. Many of his early images constitute valuable documents
of social history - each one is meticulously captioned and dated to
give an accurate record of its content and captures the changing
nature of our countryside over the decades. Many would qualify as
'art' images because of the careful balance of colour, composition
and atmosphere in these stunning colour photographs. The author, a
life-long friend of Roger Redfern, inherited the entire Redfern
Collection of images and in the process of reviewing and sorting
them has unearthed some absolutely magnificent photographs that
deserve a wider audience. He has included quotations from Roger's
books and Country Diary articles, as well as snippets of personal
information, to help the reader gain more of an insight into his
life and character - a highly enjoyable mix of memorable images and
colourful nostalgia from the past 50 years.
