Talk:Tony Ray-Jones

Birth date

Ehrlich says that TRJ was born on 7 June, and adds that he died when only 30. Where does the date 26 February come from? -- Hoary 13:52, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Hoary, I don't remember where I got this from. Probably from the same source I used for the other info I added at the occasion. If you have reliable sources for the birth date go ahead and change it. RodC 22:16, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the fast response; done already. -- Hoary 00:49, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

"Only in England" publication

This article lists:

• Only in England: Photographs by Tony Ray-Jones. Bradford: National Media Museum, 2013. ISBN 978-1-900747-67-7. Exhibition catalogue.

The article on Martin Parr lists:

• Only in England. London: Media Space, Science Museum, 2013. OCLC 870756771. Booklet accompanying an exhibition of work by Tony Ray-Jones and Parr.

I think that these refer to the same thing, and Parr is so promising in the advertising that I would be a little surprised if it were entirely devoted to Ray-Jones. And I see no source independent of Wikipedia that mentions ISBN 978-1-900747-67-7. Has anyone seen this publication (or either, or both)? -- Hoary (talk) 10:04, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

They do refer to the same thing. The ISBN is correct. I have it here. There are no photographs by Parr. There are texts by Greg Hobson, Parr; David Alan Mellor and Ian Walker. The photographs are 'The English Unseen: Tony Ray-Jones photographs newly selected by Martin Parr' and 'The English Seen: classic Tony Ray-Jones photographs'. -Lopifalko (talk)

Excellent. Could you please adjust the entries in the TRJ and Parr bibliographies so that they're correct? (Though even if the ISBN is correct, it seems to have gone unnoticed, so I think it's worth retaining "OCLC 870756771" as well.) -- Hoary (talk) 13:26, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

I have only seen it for sale at Media Space in the Science Museum and I expect it is available at National Media Museum in Bradford. Maybe this hasn't helped get it noticed. -Lopifalko (talk)

Ah, sorry, poor phrasing. I meant: Even so far as the publication has been noticed (and that's been limited), the ISBN seems to have gone unnoticed. So the publication is in Worldcat but (at least when I looked) no entry for it there mentioned its ISBN. (Not that an ISBN is always a surefire way of locating the right book.) -- Hoary (talk) 14:25, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

No, it was my poor phrasing. I understood what you meant by going unnoticed. -Lopifalko (talk)
