There's a fine exhibition coming up in the near future at An Lanntair. And it's photos too. Mr John Mayer - aka The Flying Monk - along with Ian Paterson will be showing interior images from some of the many abandoned properties around the island. If you look here, you can see a preview for yourself. Going to be well worth a visit - not least because Mr Maher has progressed recently to using a film camera!
And not only that but there's another exhibition running currently which has plenty of scans from old negs and glass plates from island villages showing the peat-cutting and stacking -along with a real life stack in the gallery and an old tractor that looks in better nick than a lot I see working around the place. Well worth a visit. Having said that I'd love to print some of those negs and plates properly - as they were meant to be done - in the darkroom!
Hopefully, this is a a turn-round of having more photography in the arts centre.

Excellent! Right up my street and we are coming to Harris in October. Wil it stil be on then?
Ignore that! Just seen the start date! Won't see it then. :-(
Fancy a coffee in October?
Yes. What date?
We (my wife and my sister) will be there 19-26th. My first time on Lewis and Harris and keen to find the best places for a bit of lunch/coffee/culture. Also looking for good abandoned places - but I think others have covered that better than I can!
