Photo-Books
by Martin O'Neill
Wrong Way Wround Books present ..
Street Photography from Eccles, Salford & Manchester in the 1970s and '80s.
Martin O'Neill was introduced to photography in 1973.
Aged 13, he joined his school camera club and decided early on that he wanted to be a press-photographer.
He began to roam his local streets with camera in hand, artistically documenting everything around him.
These books are a collection of those photographs, compiled into a series of amusing and affordable (£10) editions.
(Ps: He achieved his ambition, getting a job on a local newspaper when he was just 18 years old.).
Reviews
"Amazing value for a fantastic collection of photographs."
"O'Neill's work is brilliant. His story-telling through the lens is second-to-none."
"Manchester has produced some incredible photographers ..
and one of them is Martin O'Neill."
(BBC Radio Manchester)
"O'Neill's books are a flick through history in a well-observed,
light-hearted trip down Memory Lane."
(Peter Dench, Amateur Photographer Magazine)
.
"Just finished all your books.
I can now pronounce you officially as the LS Lowry of Salford
and environs of the 1970s and '80s. Really enjoyed them.
(PS - I'm a great fan of Lowry!)
