Abstract: ‘Photographing Time’ traces the influence of two coterminous early photographers, Alexander Robert Hogg of Belfast, Ireland (1870-1939) and Sergei Prokúdin-Gorsky of St Petersburg, Russia (1863-1944) on my own practice as a poet. I have written extensively about early photography, particularly (though not exclusively) in my collection Parallax (2012): a work whose very title is a photographic term, and which functions as an extended meditation on mortality, socio-economic inequality, the aesthetics and ethics of framing, and the knowability – or otherwise – of historical fact.
