Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen

@RichardHesketh1 @Kathfanderson We love him still at Amber.

Isn’t this wonderful? Sirkka was welcomed, accepted & cherished by the Byker people she lived amongst & photographed, and it shows.

@Kathfanderson A real gentleman was Jimmy, a gentle man.

#OnthisDay1974: A young Finnish photographer named Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen was documenting the changing face of Byker through her work.

@BBCArchive I don't remember this film being made! Amazing to be transported back to my very young self and the Byker community I was part of for seven years.

@SideGallery @StillsEdinburgh Seeing this just now, made me rewatch Amber Collective's wonderful short film, Launch. I know it's Wallsend, but astonishing and must-see for those of us who've only known Newcastle, recently. amber-online.com/collection/lau…
