On The Artist's Trail

Anyone who has been to Hebden Bridge before will know that there are many talented artist's that live and work here.

So on Sunday [for the first time after living here over 8 years] I managed to pop along to Brooklyn and Northlight Studios.

There were so many studios to pop into and view so many different styles of work.

I took a few photograph's of things that took my eye and this is a small selection.

I bought a photograph of an art installation that I first saw in Manchester a few years ago of old  rolled up bed sheets which portrayed the ebb and flow of life, it was a very powerful piece and I am really pleased to have found it.

This weekend sees the Tour De France passing through the town on Sunday and it's already looking like a party is coming to town. Yellow bunting everywhere if it would only stop raining.!

This Monday the sun was out and I was very relieved as I had a photo shoot. Umbrellas not required.!

There will be  lots of terrific pictures of the shoot in a few days time which will show off the delights of Hebden Bridge.

I was joined by Debbie owner of  Zeitgeist a FABULOUS cutting emporium where every cut is perfection.

Together we put together a shoot based around the film  'A boy a girl and a bike' filmed locally in1949 and tells the story of working mill girls who belong to a cycling club.

Our clothing was supplied by a local boutique Amelia and a lovely make up artist Aimee came to dust cheeks, apply lashes and all other kinds of make up magic.

Spring seems to be here and the valley where I live has been beautiful esp the canal.

When the photographs are ready to post I will be back with another instalment of 'A boy a girl and a bike'

As Shelly from  Toast say's 'don't rush my genius'.  However she is a genius in general especially with a camera.! She also has the most incredible new web site.
