Snowdonia, Wales, 1989
Martin Parr’s photography is concerned with people and how they live their lives. This photograph depicts a couple with contrasting priorities; one takes in the breath-taking landscape of Snowdonia national park, whilst the other, seemingly oblivious to the views outside, catches up on the tabloid news.
The photograph depicts a man and a woman in Snowdonia National Park. The woman is sitting in the car reading a newspaper whilst the man stands in front of the car and photographs the view beyond.
