This program is about how people reflect their own reality, both in the formal photographs for which they pose and those which they themselves take. The amateur documentary tradition is seen through the eyes of two photographers from northern Britain, Jack Hulme and Jimmy Forsyth. Other collections featured are: The Kodak Collection; National Museum of Television, Film and Photography, Bradford; and the Documentary Photographic Archive, Manchester. (26 minutes)
