I just caught the tail end of the Peter Mitchell show at Impressions Gallery - Planet Yorkshire - before Christmas. PM himself was there so I had a chat with him. He's a very pleasant chap. He told me that his house is jammed full of all his work from previous exhibitions. He is still photographing now, totally analogue, using medium format. I find his approach very appealing: a kind of vocation without ambition. He's had the same printer for forty years. The prints are pretty huge and often darkish so that you are squinting a bit. He's going for an overall look.
Given the range of his work over the years an exhibition giving a flavour of it all is bound to be a bit episodic, as this was, but the lost world of the seventies does look like another planet now and these photos seem not just to portray it but also to embody it. Lovely show and great to get to chat to him.
