Blurb: 

The division between amateur and professional has always been a blurred one in photography and the amateurs, particularly in the 19th century, often initiated both aesthetic and technical advances. Vernon Richards is happy to see himself in this tradition. He make no claim to break new ground but his humane eye allows important qualities to shine through his photographs. Their straightforward honesty and compassion vividly reveal the great interest in, and friendship towards, his fellow men and the world around us. This weekend 'button-presser' shows us just how much can be achieved by an energetic enthusiast whose simple equipment would be considered laughable by today's gadget laden photographers, both amateur and profesional.
