Its suggested by the numerous news article links on Mark's own website that the most interesting part of this project is the way in which it was presented back to the people of Port Glasgow rather than the content of the images. There is a feeling that he tried to soften the blow for being intrusive and some have said exploitative. It was the feeling I had on first looking through the details of the project. Although from Glasgow himself,he was and still is an outsider and in my eyes hasn't really got the right to be making judgement. That said,some of the images from the 80 in the book make for engaging viewing and having the opportunity to shoot for a year with over 3000 shots taken is not something many photographers would let pass by.
