The Bartender Never Gets Killed

W. Keith McManus

March 27th, 2007

Out of the blue I had an email from Keith at the weekend, and I’ve been spending some time since then going through his new work, and re-looking at his older stuff.

Keith is an intereresting guy. He’s done/doing the pj and documentary photographer stuff, he’s now also producing documentary video work. He works 35mm, digi, LF, BW, colour you name it! His subject matter is also extensive - landscape, urban, people etc etc

I first really started taking notice of Keith when I saw this image of his:

It is an image of excquisite beauty; the red motif, repeated squares, the light, the viewpoint is perfect.

I think viewpoint is something Keith is very good at - he finds images that can only be described from this one POV - many photographers utilise ‘the moment’, but more for Keith is the ‘where’.

Keith is currently working on a project called Uniontown . Unfortunately these are on flickr and I haven’t found a way to link directly to the images. But spend some time on his flickr site. It is really refreshing to see a photographer with so many interests.
