The vast majority of the photographs reproduced here stem from 1962-65, seemingly an outpouring of creativity unleashed once he had taken the opportunity to get behind the lens full-time.<br \/> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"text\"><span class=\"midtext\">Jones\u2019 work, as displayed in the book, focuses mainly on the working classes at work, play and day-to-day in the Sixties. The chapter headings: Life, Coal, Ships, Time Off and Dance \u2013 somewhat oddly included \u2013 guide one on a sympathetic tour of what it meant to be a grafter, a hard worker at a time when the sun was setting on the industrial age.<br \/> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"text\"><span class=\"midtext\"><br \/>Capturing miners, dockers and ship builders at work, Jones is respectful and distanced, preferring to use natural light to bring his subjects to the fore and to allow the dramatic industrial backdrops to frame his pictures. Nowhere is this better exemplified than no. 81, Walking to work at Swan Hunter\u2019s shipyard, Wallsend Newcastle-Upon Tyne, 1963, where the oppressively wet pre-dawn streets are watched over by huge shipbuilding cranes as a solitary man walks toward them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"text\"><span class=\"midtext\">Away from the serious business of work, is seems as if Jones can relax too. In the chapter Time Off his picture Woman in curlers at \u201877 Sunset Strip\u2019 boarding house, Blackpool,1966 is juxtaposed with a later image no.113 Waitress at \u201877 Sunset Strip\u2019 boarding house, Blackpool 1966, where we see the waitress sitting in front of a board on which the Little Englander proprietor has written \u201cNotice. If you are wearing rollers in your hair, you will be asked to leave this dining room.\u201d<br \/> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"text\"><span class=\"midtext\"><br \/>But as light as these moments are it is the men toiling with dignity and forbearance in Coal that move us most in Grafters. These men refuse to be humbled, often looking Jones in the eye when being photographed, their self-respect, despite the physical exhaustion at the end of another shift, intact. They, most of all, encapsulate the book\u2019s quiet dignity that recalls a people and a time with a poignant yet unsentimental air. <\/span><span class=\"bold\"><span class=\"midtext\"><\/p>\n<p><strong> Gordon Miller<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4><a href=\"index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=24:grafters&amp;catid=19&amp;Itemid=77\" title=\"Grafters\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"review_photo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.foto8.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/grafters_cover.jpg\" alt=\"Grafters\" title=\"Grafters\" align=\"left\" height=\"150\" hspace=\"10\" width=\"115\" \/><\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><span class=\"review_author\">Colin Jones<\/span><br \/><span class=\"review_additional\"> Phaidon Press 2002<br \/> 144pp \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \u00a335<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":45,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 -
