Synopsis

Arthur Fields, Dublin-born of Ukrainian emigrants fleeing anti-semitism, was a street photographer who stood on O'Connell Bridge for 50 years taking photos. He worked every day from the 1930s until 1985. Unknowingly, he became the unofficial family photographer of a city, having taken a estimated 182,500 photos of passers-by. When cameras were not within reach of normal people, Arthur provided a vital service taking photos of couples on first dates, people up in Dublin for a day, happy parents with newborn children, match-goers, and many more. These cherished photos form the basis of this collection. Each photo was submitted by its owner with a story and caption explaining the background. The photos bear witness to a changing cityscape, fashion, lifestyle, social habits and even camera technology.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Arthur Fields lived in the Dublin suburb of Raheny. Born Abraham Feldman, he changed his name to fit into Irish society. He started out as a tailor but realised the growing trade of taking and selling street photographs was an opportunity not to be missed. Little did he realise he would spend fifty years on O'Connell Bridge taking photos. Little did his wife Doreen realise she'd be developing them. Ciaran Deeney is a documentary filmmaker who has won over twenty international prizes. David Clarke is a producer with El Zorrero Films.
