Luke asked me why I had done the photos in black and white, so I've tried the colour cross processing thing. I think it works quite well.

street photos

We've been discussing the subject of street photography in the ilkley flickr group meets. I took the plunge this afternoon. I'd been at the alhambra theatre in bradford doing some mentoring with the mediabox project. the session finished earlier than i had planned so i took the opportunity to track down some of bradford's interesting characters. more photos here

went to yorkgate today, a wonderful place on the outskirts of Leeds where a garden is maintained by the charity perennial. we are in the process of landscaping our own garden and so on the lookout for ideas - plenty here. a glorious day and the first real sign that summer is on the way. more photos on flickr

bruce gilden - street photographer

I was chatting to Ian of the Ilkley flickr group last week and we were talking about photographing people. Snapping members of your own family is sometimes seen by them as an irritation but at least you can get away with it. If, however, you go onto the street it's a very different matter.

This is an interview with Bruce Gilden which Ian put be on to.
