An unknown great

I wish I'd seen this.

There was on BBC4 on Saturday night on BBC4 about James Ravilious - described as "one of the great unknowns of British photography".

Alan Bennett narrated the documentary about the rural photographer who dedicated his art to a small area of north Devon, where over a period of two decades he took more than 80,000 photographs.

He was also the son of the renowned water-colourist and engraver Eric Ravilious.

I'm completely absorbed by Ravilious at the moment; I live just on the edges of the area he photographed so vividly and wish I could write as well as he snapped!
