His major retrospective exhibition last year at The National Library of Wales provided an opportunity for Pete Davis to review and re-assess six decades of his photographic work. This talk has been compiled to allow audiences to follow and understand the progression of this work from the early 1960’s to current work in progress. It compliments the current showing of 'Great Little Tin Sheds of Wales' at Oriel Colwyn.

"Most of the major bodies of work I have undertaken over the years are represented in this talk. Hopefully this will allow audiences to understand my lifelong fascination with particular aspects of the world around me and to observe how I have used various photographic styles and strategies to represent these. Much of my work may appear to concentrate on the more prosaic elements of our environment; however, photography has the ability to not just represent but to reveal and re-present these in a form that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.

I have always loved almost every aspect of life and our environment and it has always been my intention to capture those seemingly mundane moments and surroundings that might pass unnoticed unless observed by a sympathetic eye. These observations have then been collected into coherent bodies of work that allow for the recollections in the future."
