Thanks, James. I enjoyed that nice images too. I think you did get your eye in.

Great to see you back on the streets James, although it may never be the same as you remember it I think you have really caught the essence of the changing city, some inspirational work mate, thanks for content.

Streets not usually my bag James, but that was quite fascinating, love the chair and clock, brilliant subjects and the Higglety Pigglety nature of the comp just keeps me looking at it trying to figure it out. Enjoyed that 👍👍

Hi, James.
Stunning video, man.
Very inspiring and motivating.
I love to shoot in B&W and like the way you do.
Antoine.

Great video James, I do love your close up B&W images of signs, steps etc, really do look great.
I wanted to get out somewhere this week James, not too far but not on my doorstep as usual but of course I’ve been either too busy or too tired. Already got Blackpool booked in for a Street Photography Walk with a few others on Friday. I’ll stay a little longer afterwards for some Seascapes and hopefully get the Drone up, weather and camera batteries permitting.
Not been up to Bradford for a long time and never for a Photowalk so I’ll pencil that in for a day in the near future but I do want to do some more Landscape Photography, preferably Waterfalls, but not right on my doorstep as I say, I live in Horwich, right next to Rivington and though I have photographed a lot of the area there’s so much more I can do.

Fine photographs, James, from a somewhat unprepossessing area (sorry Bradford). Much enjoy the square format too.

Ya right about the 80's never coming back to Bradford. Shame really. Great images BTW.

Some good images there James, do you do any post processing on them or are they straight from camera.?
Look forward to more of these especially some old stone houses in long rows.

I haven't been to Bradford since maybe 1976, looks even more grim. How about a photo tour of Manningham? 🤣. Memories of Zeppelin, St George's Hall 1973 ( cost a quid), odd visit to Valley Parade, playing snooker in the club where Joe Johnson was top dog a few years before he became world champion, Herbert Sutcliffe's sports shop. Curry shop in a kind of crypt where you could get a bowl of keema curry and 3 chapaties for next to nowt, very popular after a few pints. Big Morrisons at Odsal Top. Looking forward to some old haunts in the area.

Well shot James. Bradford has lost its way big time, it seems to go from bad to worse, what chance has it got. I wonder if they condensed the city centre, it would take a lot of doing but it may work. For sure levelling up never happened, just empty words and no deeds done.
