Earlier this year I was at the opening of `A Girl for the Living Room` an exhibition by Rene Matic, the photographs were on show at the Martin Parr Foundation, Bristol. I used my Samsung Galaxy J31s to take the photos, two of my favourite shots.

Another couple of shots from my in-conversation event with Matthew Watson, at the Bolton Museum & Art Gallery about my life in photography. A special thanks to Julie Lomax for taking this photo with my self-published photobook GOOD DAY at the RACES on screen.

A Better Time in our Town! The 1980/81 Carnival on Le Mans Crescent, Bolton, Lancashire, England UK. In my opinion, the crescent should be completely pedestrianized.

While going through my negs I came across another shot I took back in the 1970s of two boys coming down Chorley St in Bolton, I presume they were coming from the Royal Infirmary!

The shoes are exactly as I found them, I didn't want to touch them, I remember an eerie ghostly feeling coming over me!

UPDATE: John Bentley had a go at reducing the noise/grain on my original image, I did a further edit and I am very happy with the improved results.
