This article features four photographs by different artists, each with a personal story behind it. The photographs are from the "Coming Into View" exhibition at GoMA (Glasgow Museum of Modern Art), featuring works by Eric Watt, Khansa Aslam, Keith Ingham, and Khansa's family photograph.

The articles describe how these photographers capture aspects of Glasgow's identity, history, and culture.

Khansa Aslam's photo is a reminder of fun times with her family in Maxwell Park, where generations from different backgrounds have made their homes. Eric Watt's photographs are from the 1970s, capturing changes and similarities between parts of Glasgow before and after redevelopment. Keith Ingham shares his personal story of how photographing Glasgow helped him develop his passion for photography.

These stories highlight the importance of art in preserving memories and identities, even as cities like Glasgow continue to evolve and change over time.

I mean, can you imagine walking around a city like Glasgow without any idea about its history or culture? These photographers are like archaeologists of sorts, capturing moments that reveal the complexities of human experience 📸. It's beautiful to see how Khansa Aslam's photo shows the diversity of Maxwell Park and how it's become a hub for families from different backgrounds.

For me, this exhibition is a reminder that art is all about preserving memories and stories - it's not just about creating pretty pictures (although, let's be real, these ones are GORGEOUS 💁‍♀️). It's about holding onto our past while still embracing the future.

I think it's really cool that they got Khansa Aslam's family photo included in this exhibition. It shows how these photographers aren't just capturing the city, but also the personal connections people have with their communities 💕. I've lived in Glasgow for a while now and I can see how the city has changed over time, but it's nice to remember the past through art. Keith Ingham's story is really inspiring, reminds me of why I started taking pictures too 📸. I love that the exhibition is highlighting the importance of art in preserving memories and identities... it's so true, photos can transport you back to a moment in time 😊.
 
I think it's so cool that the exhibition is showin' these photographers' personal sides and how they capture Glasgow's vibes 🤩. But, let me just say, I'm a bit surprised Khansa Aslam didn't use a different family photo... I mean, what if her family has more interesting stories behind other pics? And Eric Watt's old photos are pretty chill, but have you seen his current stuff? He's got some sick shots of Glasgow's street art scene 🤯. Keith Ingham's all about the photography love story, which is nice and all, but I wish he'd talk more about his own creative process 💭.
 
Ugh I'm literally so moved by this exhibition 🤯 it's like they're showing us what we've lost when our cities get all fancy and redevelopment-y, but still we have bits of love and laughter from the past that we can hold onto. It's so beautiful to see Khansa Aslam's photo of her family in Maxwell Park, it's like a time capsule or something 📚 and Eric Watt's pics from the 70s are just heartbreaking because you can see how Glasgow used to be and now it's all new and changed 💔 but still we have these pieces that show us what we've always been. And Keith Ingham's story is just so inspiring, I need to get into photography too 📸. It's like art really does preserve our memories and identities in the best way possible ❤️

Like Khansa's family photo is just a beautiful reminder that even though people come from different backgrounds, they can still find common ground and make it work in places like Maxwell Park. And Eric Watt's old-school pics are like a time capsule showing us how Glasgow has changed over the years, but also stayed true to itself 😊. I think art is so important for keeping our memories alive and preserving our identities, even when everything around us changes. It's just really inspiring to see people using their talents to share their stories with others ❤️.

📸🎨 You know what's crazy? Looking at these old photos from Glasgow and I'm getting all nostalgic vibes. The way they capture this city's history and culture is just so cool. I mean, Khansa Aslam's photo of her family in Maxwell Park, that's just heartwarming stuff. It's like you can feel the love and community emanating from those pictures.

But what really gets me is how these photographers are keeping Glasgow's identity alive, even as the city changes. I'm not gonna lie, it's a bit bittersweet seeing old Glasgow through new eyes. Like, Eric Watt's 70s photos show how much has changed, but they also highlight how some things remain the same.

It's like my grandma always says, "the past is prologue." These exhibitions are like a reminder that our memories and experiences shape who we are today. They're preserving this history so we don't forget where we come from. I think that's really beautiful. 🌟
 
I think its so cool that these photographers are sharing their personal stories through their work 😊. Its like they're giving us a glimpse into what makes Glasgow special 🤗. I've been to Maxwell Park before and its such a lovely spot, I can see why Khansa's photo is so special ❤️. It makes me think about how our surroundings shape us and vice versa 🌃. Art has a way of capturing moments in time that we might forget otherwise ⏱️.
 
I just saw that exhibition at GoMA and it was so cool 🤩! I loved how each photo told a personal story about Glasgow's history and culture. It made me think about how important it is for us to hold onto those memories and stories. You know, like when my grandma used to tell me about our family's traditions and holidays from back home. Those are the things that make a place feel truly alive 🌟. And I love that the photographers were all different ages and backgrounds - it really showed how art can bring people together and celebrate our differences 😊.
 
I think what's really cool about this exhibition is that it shows the human side of a city - all these iconic landmarks are great, but at the end of the day, it's people who make places feel alive 🤩. I mean, who wouldn't want to grow up in Maxwell Park and have those memories with your family? It's like you can almost smell the park on these photos 😊. The thing is, art isn't just about making us think or look pretty - it's also about holding onto what makes us who we are 📸. These photographers are doing a great job of capturing that essence and keeping Glasgow's history alive 💚.
 
I love how these photographs show that Glasgow's identity is all about people and their stories 📸🏙️. I mean, think about it - Maxwell Park where Khansa Aslam grew up, is basically a melting pot of cultures right? It's crazy to see the changes over the years in Eric Watt's photos from the 70s. Like, you can really see the difference between old Glasgow and new Glasgow 🤯. And Keith Ingham's story about photography being his passion... it just makes me want to grab a camera and capture all the beauty around us 😊. I think this exhibition is like a time capsule of Glasgow's history, and I'm so glad people are sharing their stories through art 💕.
 
Wow! I'm loving these pics from "Coming Into View" exhibition 📸💕. It's so cool how each photographer has their own story behind the snaps, like it's a personal diary or something 😊. And yeah, capturing the essence of Glasgow's identity is really interesting - it makes me wanna visit Maxwell Park and see Khansa's family photo for myself! Keith Ingham's story about photography helping him develop his passion is so inspiring, btw 💡. It just goes to show how art can bring people together and preserve memories... that's pretty deep 🤯!
