The room is filled with affection, writes photographer Eamonn McCabeThe late Booker-winning writer and art critic John Berger was the shop steward for photography; he argued that it was an important way of seeing. “Isn’t drawing the polar opposite of a photo?” Berger asked. Most of the works were sent to Berger as gifts, often by his friends; there is so much affection in the room. While they were filming, Berger talked about the vast number of pictures that had been taken since the invention of photography. • Seeing Through Drawing: a Celebration of John Berger is on at the Mandell’s Gallery in Norwich until 26 August.
