I started a site for my fathers lost words and pictures [photography]
Back in 1979 Lionel Douglas crashed a motorcycle he was testing.
Unlike many others he trashed he didn’t walk away that time. In his short life, aside from being my father he also did his best to live up to his name and sign [leo].
There’s been past efforts to publish his work, but they remain obscure. Always felt it was down to me to do it now. I’ve had his papers for some time, and a trunk full of negatives. Been meaning to do something with them - it’s taken time, opportunity, and ultimately my own brushes with mortality to get my ass in gear.
The site is called THE ITALIAN MACHINE PROJECT. The why of the name explained here.
On the site you’ll find his words as well, but at this stage it’s dominated by his photos. Here’s a few highlights. The shots link through to sets of photos they come from. I’m going through them more or less in chronological order, so these are all taken around 1969
