Parr by Parr

The discussions with Quentin Bajac led to the following chapters in the book:

1. A Glimmer of Hope -- The Early Years

2. A British Obsession -- About the 80's and being English: Bad weather, last resort, cost of living, sign of the times

3. A Promiscuous Photographer -- Parr's becoming international in the 90s. Small world; Common Sense and the diversification of his work (ress, mode, advertising)

4. The Advantage of Being Magnum -- Parr's history with Magnum since '88 - '89 and his position today between documentary and art.

5. The Maturity of Time -- His taste for spreading photography more widely (expositions, books) and his activities especially in the last 5 to 6 years (as an editor, etc.)

 Autobiographical from the standpoint of Martin Parr's career to date as a photographer and filmmaker.
