This is one of my favourite photographs from my walks around Halifax 55 years ago. When I took it, did I think I was capturing a world that was vanishing – a world of cobbled streets, gas lights and soot-stained stone terraces – or did I simply see it as an interesting composition? In truth, I can’t remember, I just pointed the camera and clicked the shutter. I’m glad I did.

I’m glad you did, too, Alan. It’s a brilliant photo with an aspirational perspective looking upward and yet tempered by the humility of the washing line. The black & white film is perfect for bringing out the textures and lines. Color would diminish its emotional effect, I think.
