I saw a wonderful photography exhibition today at the Mitchell Library called Picture This. It’s a collection of press photographs collected over 50 years (1930-1980) from the archives of The Herald, Sunday Herald and Evening Times depicting Glasgow and its people. Pictures from all walks of life, from football heros to families travelling ‘doon the watter’ on their summer holidays. It really was fabulous.

If you are local, or even if you’re not, you should try and get to see it. If you are too far away, you can see another collection of photos from the same archive here. It’s a group of supplements that depict different areas of the ‘Glasgow Life’. It’s really rather good…

p.s. it’s Pete’s birthday today…. hope it’s a great one! wish we were there…
