PETER JONES IN CONVERSATION WITH EMYR YOUNG ABERYSTWYTH, CEREDIGION. AUGUST 2016 (released on the Ffoton podcast 1 December, 2016) PETER JONES 1947-2017 “I’m just a hick from the sticks” - Peter Jones After studying at Manchester College of Art and Design in the late 1960's, Peter Jones moved into photography as first assistant to London Advertising photographer John Thornton. But the quieter life of West Wales saw Peter return to run the family farm and put photography aside for 30 years. His body of subsequent photography (much of it still unseen) includes an intimate record of rural life in West Wales, including his 'Welsh Farming Community' project. With his health in decline, Peter kindly agreed to Ffoton visiting him at home rear Aberystwyth. We're glad we did: not only is Peter a knowledgeable photographer with a wicked sense of humour but also a very talented artist who passed away in 2017. Enjoy this in-depth conversation with a very humble but extremely passionate Welsh photographer. Currently being populated with images from his archive held in the National Library of Wales, you will soon be able to view more of Peter's work on his website www.peterjones.cymru You can listen to our recording of Peter's guest talk with Bartosz Nowicki and Peter Evans at Third Floor Gallery in 2015 on the Ffoton YouTube channel.
