M. BECK-BURRIDGE BSc., MA. Post Grad
Cert
Photography.
Martin has shown a sensitivity to his subject which
has taken into the world of expression where few
words are needed. His trek to Africa and beyond
has born fruit by bringing home a certainty that life
is different where ever you turn. The sense of
humanity crowns his achievement in depicting
humans coping in difficult circumstances. This is
Africa, jeep included, which not all of us feel
comfortable seeing. Reality bites our consciences
here
and abroad as we struggle to cope with the things
going on around us.
