Nearly a Retrospective features 60 black and white images spanning 40 years of documentary work by Andrew Chapman.

I recently visited the show with a friend and returned to attend an exhibition tour with the artist and hear stories behind the pictures.


 Andrew Chapman talks about his early images.
