	Masters of Photography: Hill & Adamson
		The Scottish painter and arts activist David Octavius Hill (1802—1870) collaborated with the engineer and photographer Robert Adamson between 1843 and 1847 to pioneer many aspects of photography in Scotland.
		Adamson's studio, "Rock House", on Calton Hill in Edinburgh became the centre of their photographic experiments.
		The calotypes faded under sunlight, so had to be kept in albums, and though Hill continued the studio for some months, he became less active and abandoned the studio, though he continued to sell prints of the photographs and to use them as an aid for composing paintings.

		And Adamson’s rehearsal of a similar role — notably in his previous books Swamp Riddles and Cross the Border — is perhaps as much a natural part of his 1960s Australian background as Indian beads and the musical Hair.
		His sonnets addressed to the memory of the great modern poet Robert Duncan are troubled, riddled with a very human doubt, and in the end more effective because of their restraint.
		Robert Adamson is now placing less emphasis on the wilful myths that have tempted him in the past.

		Robert Adamson has been nourished for much of his life by Australia’s Hawkesbury River.
		The early poems trace Adamson’s own journey through a difficult childhood, prison and exile in the city, the source of a hard-won scepticism undercutting the highly personal Romanticism and daring lyricism of his later work.
		‘Robert Adamson is that rare instance of a poet who can touch all the world and yet stay particular, local to the body he’s been given in a literal time and place.

		Robert Adamson is an Australian poet of considerable repute in his own country, not so well published elsewhere as he should be.
		But even this is contradicted by at least one of the Eurydice poems in which she is pictured as present.
		There is also a section of bird poems, which is good to see as it has always been a favourite mode for Adamson of attaching the world outside, to focus on one of these flying creatures with their constant suggestions of distance and souldom.

	David Octavius Hill, Robert Adamson vintage photographs for sale
		Adamson learned the calotype process in 1842, opened a portrait studio in Edinburgh, and began a five-year partnership with D.O. Hill in 1843.
		Hill was a landscape painter who had become interested in photography while planning a large commemorative painting of the founders of the Free Church of Scotland; he sought the help of Adamson in the belief that the calotype process would aid in rendering the likeness of the 474 clergymen and dignitaries involved.
		The partners soon expanded their subject matter to include genre and other scenes, and between them made about 1,500 images before the partnership ended when Adamson died in 1848.

		Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson were partners in the earliest days of photography.
		Photographers of the day were either artistically inclined or had a strong scientific background, and this partnership was an ideal combination: Adamson was mainly responsible for the more mechanistic aspects of the process (exposure, development and printing), and Hill for the direction, posing and lighting.
		One problem that Hill and Adamson failed to resolve was the control of the eye.
