BENNY PROFANE - Ken Grant
Benny Profane is the fruit of a long-term engagement with a dockside neighborhood that Grant first experienced as a laborer in his youth. Bounded by a few square kilometers on the banks of the River Mersey, it lingers on the river's hinterland and, in particular, the vast expanse of Bidston Moss, to become an immersion in a region and those who depend on it. It is a committed and tender work, a tale of kinship and challenge in a difficult country. The photographs in this book were taken between 1989 and 1997, and although some were published in Reportage magazine in 1991, most are previously unpublished.
