In January 2004 36 people: 18 from Dumfries & Galloway and 18 from the Glasgow area began a ten week writing and photography workshopprogramme, their task to learn and develop new skills whilst exploring how to identify poverty from an urban (Glasgow) and rural (Dumfries & Galloway) perspective.

Groups were made up of able and disable bodied people from a wide range of life experience and age. Thier images - textual and visual - are a combination of documentation and social realism, sourcing authentic, original images, written and photographed of life, in poverty, across Scotland today.

Images are available for download and use free of charge as long as the creator is credited.

We would also welcoem any pictures you woudl like to contribute to the library. Please contact Rachel Jury:
