| I saw these many years ago and had forgotten all about them, but stumbled across them again recently while looking through some images of Avebury on-line. I think they are really special, something of the spirit of place or whatever you would prefer to describe it as has been captured and lives in these images. http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?obj=14426 https://wiltshireridgeway.wikispaces.com/Fay+Godwin+images http://collections.vam.ac.uk/i[...]h-sheep-photograph-godwin-fay/ http://www.allposters.co.uk/-s[...]eep-1989-Posters_i9763519_.htm I wouldn't for a second presume to know about her intention or thinking much beyond a quote "I like photographs which leave something to the imagination", but these images seem to me to be about a moment where the spirit of a location, or the whatever-it-is that gives a location 'vibe' (man) makes itself available to be captured. I think her talent lies perhaps not so much in the capturing of the image itself, but in the selection of which images to present as her work. I love them, I want the bloke with the beard and red suit to throw at least one down the chimney. Reply | with quote |  21st November 2016ce 22:24 |
