From 1973, The Last House Standing at Liverpool Anglican Cathedral, from one of my photographic projects at Myrtle Street Art College, I was working then as a black & white printer at the commercial photographers, Elsam, Mann and Cooper in Princes Road @yoliverpool.bsky.social @daveyph.bsky.social

A lot of people came together late 50's early 60's that where part of the Mersey sound, my dad was in the mix as a clubland comedian, sadly lost him a couple of years ago, he played the uke so shot this "5th" Beatle image for him at the Pier Head, also 60's some publicity photos of him

quite a high barrier so only an issue if you look down, to be fair have done a lot of commercial photo shoot from high aspects over the years so never bothered me

Funnily enough I enhance my colour using Tone Mapping to emulate his style, thank you for your kind comment but Martin Parr's body of work is immense and iconic
