The final week of "Remnants of Defence" exhibition; it is always a sad time when the exhibition comes to a close but certainly not one to dwell on for too long. What went right? What went wrong? What could be done better? and was it a success?

The feedback was good from friends and previously unknown people. Thank you for the interesting questions about locations, techniques etc. which hopefully I managed to answer and from which I will blog a selection of later.

One question though, "Not all of the images in the exhibition are on your site are they?"

Answer: No, I was keen to hold a number back to add the element of something new to the people who were already familiar with my work. As the exhibition is about to close here is the link to the PRIVATE VIEW of the exhibits. [click here]

1st March 2012

Behind the wall and through the gate
along a puddled floor,
there are forgotten passageways
where daylight shines no more.

Armed only with a camera 
a tripod and a light,
the quest is on to take the fort 
without a bloody fight.

A photographic exhibition by Philip Woolway of the Palmerston Forts
featuring selected published and previously unpublished works
from the Remnants of Defence Collection with particular reference to
Fort Brockhurst & Fort Gilkicker.
