Paddy Summerfield
Remember Hope
Photopaper 17

Paddy Summerfield’s Remember Hope might
be regarded as a coda t o the Welsh section of his book,
mother and father. It features the same seaside
cottage in Wales where he and his par ents holidayed.
It has the same elegiac mood, but brings
the story up to the present. That is to say, as far
as photography can depict the present, for in
essence, it always deals with the past.
