stray cat Posted April 9, 2018 Share #1661 Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Halifax, West Yorkshire, UK. "Hail Hull and Halifax" my homage to Bill Brandt - to me the greatest ever English photographer. Brandt stood on this very spot in 1945 braced his Rolleiflex and made "Catch Points" for Lillyput Magazine. 73 years later I stood in the same place and with my Monochrom and 21mm SEM made my own image and homage to him. If you're not familiar with Brandt I urge you to google him and look at his "Shadow of Light" work - typing the words makes my hair stand on end. One of photography's all time greats. Wonderful photographs all, Paul. I have a suspicion Brandt, were he still with us, would be delighted to think that someone with your passion and sensibility was carrying on his magnificent work. Edit - book just now ordered. Edited April 9, 2018 by stray cat 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Ricoh Posted April 9, 2018 Share #1662 Posted April 9, 2018 Halifax, West Yorkshire, UK. "Hail Hull and Halifax" my homage to Bill Brandt - to me the greatest ever English photographer. Brandt stood on this very spot in 1945 braced his Rolleiflex and made "A Snicket in Halifax" for Lillyput Magazine. 73 years later I stood in the same place and with my M8 and 28mm Elmarit V3 lens and made my own image and homage to him. The chimneys belching smoke are long gone but the scene remains the same. If you're not familiar with Brandt I urge you to google him and look at his "Shadow of Light" work - typing the words makes my hair stand on end. One of photography's all time greats. Love your pics, Paulmac, one and all. i was just about to 'pull the plug' on the Shadow of Light by Bill Brandt, but I'm confused by the number of different front covers available; one shows a man and a lamp post, another part of a face. Did he publish (or published retrospectively by another more likely) several versions, well at least more than one version, and if so which would you recommend? Planning to order this once I know, along with Ralph Gibson's "Mono". Two inspirational photographers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Ricoh Posted April 10, 2018 Share #1665 Posted April 10, 2018 Paul, thanks for the helpful insight regarding Bill Brandt's book. The one you mention sounds exactly what I would like to purchase; I feel the plastic slipping out of my wallet already; my plastic friend knows me too well! And thank you for the commentary accompanying the images you post. Some say words are unnecessary; I see this in relation to unnecessary captions, but your commentary adds knowledge for someone wishing to follow your footsteps, wishing to visit the areas you've covered. (I'm only a stone's throw away from Halifax, relatively speaking - well 1 1/2 hrs to be more precise, so i can see a trip coming up in the not too distant future.) I'm somewhat drawn to old mills, chimneys etc, but sadly our industrial heritage is seen by some as an obstruction to our modern way of life and the need for real-estate results in these wonderful old buildings making way for the supermarkets etc as you mention. Very sad indeed, especially relating to photographic opportunities. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouroboros Posted April 11, 2018 Share #1673 Posted April 11, 2018 Brandt also made a lot pictures of around the UK. In 1945 he visited "The West Riding of Yorkshire" as part of this series. One of the places that he photographed was "Top Withens Farm". This is the location where Emily Bronte based her "Wuthering Heights" farmhouse on and is where Mr Earnshaw lives and brings the orphan Heathcliffe to live after finding him on a visit to Liverpool. The ruin is on the lonely Pennine way track over the moors above Haworth in Yorkshire. It's a shrine now to lots of visitors who come from all over the world to make the "pilgrimage" up the old and boggy moorland track from the valley bottom at Stanbury. I made this image as part of my homage to Brandt and this was with a Leica M240 with a 21mm SEM lens:- This image brings back memories of walking the Pennine Way many years ago and it makes me want to return to Top Withens. Incredible aura about the place and not only because of the association with Wuthering Heights. As with so many abandoned and ruined farmsteads and crofts in remote and upland areas throughout the uk there is a tangible connection with the past. You can't help but admire the previous occupant's fortitude and self-reliance in being able to eke out a living in these inhospitable places. Great image, much enjoyed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
