John R Hume is Scotland's foremost expert on industrial heritage.
John's greatest passion was - and is - industry. Over the course of
the 1960s, 70s and 80s, he took over 25,000 photographs of
late-industrial and post-industrial Scotland. His collection is a
remarkable portrait of a way of life that has now all but vanished.
His drive to act as a witness to Scotland's industrial empire, and
its steady disintegration, took him to every corner of the country.
John's photography produces an exhaustive and objective record. Yet
it also reveals remarkable and poignant glimpses of domestic life -
children playing in factory ruins, high-rises emerging on the city
skylines, working men and women dwarfed by the incredible scale of
an already crumbling industrial infrastructure. In A Life of
Industry, author Daniel Gray tells John's story, and the story of
what has been lost - and preserved.
