The Original Blippers ...

On a miserable grey day, we paid our second visit to the Great Tapestry of Scotland which is now in its final week in Cockenzie. It's consists of over 160 panels so it really is too much to take it in at one visit especially if you read all the interesting information about each panel. It was much busier this time so my photography was more limited.

I thought the panel that was most appropriate for my blip was the one of the Pioneers of Scottish Photography, Hill and Adamson as they certainly paved the way, through developing calotype photography, for the hobby/obsession that grips so many blippers. I wonder what they would have made of modern digital cameras.

One of my neighbours had an even closer connection with them as she used to live at Rock House on Calton Hill where David Octavius Hill spent the later part of his life.
