Chris Steele-Perkins presents England, My England - the HOST recording |
| 18 Jun 2010 |
 The illustrious Chris Steele-Perkins presented England, My England, his new book, to a full house at HOST Gallery. He took the opportunity to show design layouts and discuss the editing process he used in this and many of his previous book projects. Steele-Perkins was also vociferous about his disappointment in The Photographers' Gallery in London which he says is failing to live up to its founding principles and the remit bestowed upon it by the huge public funding it receives. A sentiment, it is fair to say, he shares with many photographers and photographic organisations in the UK.
