SYNOPSIS: David Nasby has spent the last two years photographing the people and the countryside near Guelph, Ontario. Free from sentimentality or nostalgia, and with complete respect for his subjects, he has recorded people at work, farm sales and auctions, stockyards and country fairs. There is great integrity in his approach. he is concerned with everyday events - a man haying, three women in an empty house, the butcher gutting a pig, children in a field of flowers. But he catches the intensity of these deceptively quiet scenes and the result is photography of an almost classic dimension. Nasby does not present his photographs as a definitive statement, but as a continuing documentary of a way of life which is constant and changing. The photographs in this collection were taken in the counties of Wellington, Waterloo and Huron, as well as Nipissing and Pickering Townships. Nasby's comments accompany his work. David Nasby was born in Hamilton in 1945 and has a degree in sociology. He became interested in photography in 1969. He has had several one-man shows and during the summer of 1973 taught and exhibited his work at the Edinburgh Arts Festival. He is currently on the staff of Mohawk College in Hamilton. David Nasby's work was shown with Renaissance '71 at the University of Toronto, and in one-man exhibitions at Mount St Vincent University, Halifax, Nova Scotia; McMaster University Art Gallery, Hamilton, Ontario and the Richard Demarco Gallery, Edinburgh, Scotland.
