David Lintern

In this episode of Biblioscapes in Discussion, I am joined by David Lintern to talk about his work and his book Thunder Road.

 
 
 
 

The 240 mile Cape Wrath Trail begins in Fort William and ends on the most north westerly point of Scotland. It has a reputation as Britain’s toughest long-distance walk, something that photographer and writer David Lintern was keen to investigate with the work;

“There’s a lot of romanticism and machismo associated with these big walks, but the trail is far more than any individual effort to complete it. It’s a complex web of old paths and stories that connect us to the past and to each other in the present.

 
 
 
 

We also discussed a selection of David’s favourite photobooks from his own bookshelf…

  • Our Forbidden Land… Fay Godwin

  • Early Colour… Saul Leiter

  • The Metabolic Landscape… Gina Glover

  • Daughter of the Soul… Joanne Coates

  • Where the World is Melting… Ragna Axelsson

You can see more of David’s work on his website and find him on Instagram and Twitter.
