Thyrsis Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 My brother, who used to live in Hebden Bridge, still owns the site of an old garage there - ripe for redevelopment if anyone wants to move there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) John has the same initials as me, so I just assumed that he is a "greater" photographer. 😁 That said, we're all riding the same leaky barge, so there really are no lesser or greater photographers here, only those who are better than others at passing QC.

sb photos Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 5 hours ago, John Morrison said: Incursions? I used to live in Hebden Bridge, so a lot of your pix are very familiar... 😀 I've visited Hebden Bridge quite a few times, the first time long ago when I moored a narrow boat on the canal overnight. Later I would sometimes stop off there on the way when visiting my sister near Skipton. I often enjoyed the canal walk to a lovely cafe run by two women. Parking in Hebden Bridge can be difficult, I often park along the road that passes the railway station. My only pictures from there with Alamy are of an anti grouse shooting rally, they have sold well. This year was the first in a long time I haven't visited Yorkshire.

Betty LaRue Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Humor is the great equalizer. When one laughs with another, all barriers are gone. I’ve always been one to relate to friends and family when I do something really dumb, but funny. Laugh, and the whole world laughs with you. I had a friend (I thought) who would laugh at my stories, then repeat them to the doctor we worked for with eye rolls and grimaces, a making fun of way, making me sound like I was dumber than a hog. Right in front of me. I quit telling her anything. Ed has a great dry, wry sense of humor. He pokes fun at himself like I do. Except mine is more slapstick. 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Morrison Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Just woken up to the news that Chris Killip has died, aged 74, with words of appreciation, coincidentally, by Martin Parr. Chris Killip was an uncompromising character, who shot mostly with a 5x4in camera; his pictures, of the north-east of England, are powerful, unforgettable. Years ago, when I worked on Camera magazine, I interviewed him at his house. With the only furniture being a table and a chair, Chris apologised that he’d only just moved in (though, after a few beers in his local pub, he admitted he’d lived there for ten years). Next morning he offered me the “standard breakfast”, which turned out to be two asprin! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Bell Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I visited 'Ebden Bridge when I was working in Halifax back in the early 1970's. At that time I was not "doing" photography therefore no visual record exists in my port. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphperspective Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I used to visit Hebden Bridge when living in Littleborough (Just outside Rochdale). There was a great little shop selling all sorts of china ware factory seconds that was destined for high end high street shops. I could never find any flaws in it, got many a bargain with table services and huge centre plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
