Douglas Campbell (1912-2007) was an amateur photographer and observer of life, deeply interested in history, concerned for the natural world, and proud of his Scottish roots. A tireless traveler, he visited more than 20 countries. The majority of Douglas' photographs were taken in Britain and the USA.
Douglas was impressed by the new possibilities for communication, especially by the World Wide Web, and we believe he would have welcomed the opportunity to interact with a larger audience. In this spirit, we have undertaken to digitize his collection of 35mm slides (35,000 spanning a period of 50 years). This "Show" is the family's tribute to his ability, energy and enthusiasm.
The Clifden 2012 team would like to thank Douglas's son, Duncan, for kindly making these photos available for everyone to enjoy.
