Influenced heavily by the 'epic' photography in The Family of Man exhibition in 1955, Irish businessman John Hinde (an ex Circus performer - a showman at heart) achieved great commercial success with extraordinary, saturated colour postcards - intended to match peoples' memory of their holiday - not the stark, austere post-war reality

Tony Ray Jones died from Leukaemia in 1972 at the age of 31 - which is why so few people have heard of him

Umberto Eco published a very important book of collected writings in 1985, called 'Travels in Hyper-reality'. Eco discusses the media and the messages they send - and we receive. He's particularly interested in the idea of 'simulated reality' - theme parks, Disneyland and the madness of Las Vegas. Please follow this link and read a synopsis of his thoughts.
