Ron Davies, OBE (17 December 1921 – 26 October 2013) was a Welsh photographer. ==Life and work== Davies was born in Aberaeron, Wales. He developed an interest in photography at the age of 8, while working as an errand boy for a chemist shop in his home town. During WWII, Davies became an official war photographer on the staff of ''Air Information'' with the South East Asia command of the Royal Air Force, stationed in India, Indonesia and Singapore. In 1950, Davies was injured in an accident on his motorcycle combination, and consequently used a wheelchair for the rest of his life, though this didn't prevent him pursuing his chosen career. He worked as a still and cine press photographer for HTV, the BBC, the ''Western Mail,'' ''Y Cymro'' and various national newspapers, and produced much private work and mounted many exhibitions. He also took a keen and active interest in teaching photography, and was the driving force behind the first mobile disabled darkroom, operated by Arts Care/Gofal Celf.〔(Arts Care/Gofal Celf ) is a Carmarthen-based charity providing arts training and facilities for disabled people in Wales〕 In 2003, Davies was awarded the OBE for his services to photography, and the year before he was accepted into the Welsh National Eisteddfod's Bardic Circle. Davies died on 26 October 2013, aged 91.〔 (In Welsh)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ron Davies (photographer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
