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

During a nice sunny afternoon stroll through New Brighton today, I photographed this great mural artwork on the side of Master Mariner Bar by artist Adam Brez of Captain Mike Lowe, the youngest Master on the Birkenhead Ferries when he was 28 in 1962 @yoliverpool.bsky.social @daveyph.bsky.social
