'The Red Road flats were spectacular – and terrifying': striking photographs of Glasgow in flux

The article features four photographers who have captured the essence of Glasgow through their lens. They are:

1. Khansa Aslam: Born and raised in Maxwell Park, she wanted to capture the place's changes and similarities. Her photograph is a reminder of the fun times her family and friends have spent there.
2. Eric Watt: He took photographs of Glasgow in the 1970s, including one of children playing on a roundabout in Maxwell Park. His work inspired Khansa Aslam to create her own photograph of the same place.
3. Keith Ingham: A Glasgow resident for 50 years, he moved to the city in his youth and identified as English. He became interested in photography after seeing an exhibition at The People's Palace, which featured social documentary photographs of local areas. His work includes shots of the East End during the demolition and rejuvenation process.
4. Robin Mitchell: Not much information is provided about Robin Mitchell, but it is mentioned that he collaborated with Khansa Aslam on a project inspired by Eric Watt's photograph.

The article showcases how photography can be used to capture the essence of a city and its people, as well as highlight social issues such as gentrification. The photographers' work is not only visually striking but also provides a glimpse into the history and culture of Glasgow.
 
I think it's cool that they're showing all these old pics from the 70s and how Glasgow has changed over time 📸🏙️ I mean, who doesn't love looking at old roundabouts and thinking about how things used to be? Eric Watt's work is actually pretty inspiring, especially since he started doing it after seeing that exhibition at The People's Palace. And Khansa Aslam's pic of Maxwell Park reminds me of when my own family comes together 🤗 It's like, you can see the nostalgia and love in her photos. I'm glad they're showcasing all these social issues too, like gentrification – it's something we should be talking about more.
 
Love this local love story 🌟! It's awesome that Khansa Aslam was inspired by Eric Watt's old-school pics of Maxwell Park, and now her own fave spot has been immortalized. I'm intrigued by Keith Ingham's 50-year history in Glasgow - he must have some wicked stories to share 😊. And Robin Mitchell's collab with Khansa is a great way to keep the city's vibes going. The photos show how our cities can change, but still retain that special something... makes me wanna grab my camera and capture the essence of my own neighbourhood 📸!
 
I was just thinking about my aunt who's from Scotland 🤔🇬🇧, she always talks about how beautiful the landscapes are there... I mean, have you ever seen those rolling hills? They're so gorgeous 😍. And speaking of photography, I saw this amazing video of a time-lapse of the city's skyline at sunset the other day... it was like watching a painting come to life 🎨🌅. But what's really interesting is how these photographers are capturing not just the visual beauty of Glasgow but also its social dynamics and history... it's like they're telling stories through their lenses 📸💬. By the way, has anyone tried that new coffee shop in town? I've been meaning to check it out 👀
 
OMG 🤩 I'm low-key obsessed with these pics from Glasgow! You can literally see the city's vibe changing over the years, it's like a time capsule or something. I love how Khansa Aslam captured Maxwell Park - it's so nostalgic! 📸👍 And Eric Watt's pics of the 70s are straight fire 🔥. It's cool that Keith Ingham was inspired by The People's Palace and went on to document Glasgow's transformation. 💡 This project is all about telling the story of a city and its people, it's so empowering! 👏
 
Glasgow's got some sick photographers 📸👍! They're capturing the city's vibe like nobody's business. I love how Khansa Aslam paid homage to Eric Watt, that's just good vibes 💕. Gentrification is a real thing though, hope they're getting paid fairly for their work 🤑
