Manchester cityscape
This photograph of the Manchester skyline changes constantly - this image is now outdated. It was taken for a client involved with urban property management and has been used many times. I wanted the blue of the just-before-dark night sky to contrast with the strength of golden illumination, which was only part electric lighting - it was augmented by reflection of a dramatic sunset.
Snow: photograph
Snow doesn’t usually lie for long in the city centre, and can be a real pain for getting about. But wow! It’s spectacular to watch it comes down hard. Best done standing at the window with a cup of tea in hand though :)
I like living here ☺️
This was taken at Manchester's Pride parade - a fabulous annual event. I had no idea who the guy was, but the enigmatic look along with the feathers and body paint, which made me think ‘Gladiator’, just SO resonated for me.
The picture was printed and framed for an exhibition the following year and while everybody liked it, nobody bought it. It stayed on my studio wall until (UPDATE!) seven years later, a his friend of his saw it - I took it off the wall and gave it to him to pass on to the gladiator, with my thanks :-)
