The Way It Was

If you want to see how photojournalism captures the essence of an era, read my book, The Way It Was – A Photographic Journey through ‘Sixties Britain.

Step back to a time when children played in streets free of traffic, families vacationed at home, Britain’s fishing fleet thrived, industry prospered, people took risks for the entertainment of others, and children faced considerable dangers. 

If you lived through that decade, David’s more than 200 pictures will take you down memory lane.

If you did not, it will transport you to a foreign country where they did things differently.

The Way It Was is an ideal gift for anyone wishing to explore the country’s past or reminisce about their youth.


This volume is full of wonderful and evocative slice of every day… Great pictures, great memories and great fun.

This book realistically, sometimes tenderly, shows how life in England and elsewhere looked… David photographs them with a passion only the best few can muster.
