I just like entering...and seeing others get involved too.
I like seeing how others have interpreted the theme.

Re: New Photo Competition 31

Thank you all for the kind words, I didn't really deserve to win because I didn't take the photograph. It was taken by Alice Longstaff who I believe died over 40 years ago.

Alice was a professional photographer with a studio in Hebden Bridge and there is a very good web site dedicated to her and her photographs of old times.
Me and a few of my cousins had our photos taken there when we were young.
The link below will take you to a website with a lot of her photographs on.

Anyway, thanks again for voting for me, I will see what I can dig out for the current competition.

An amazing look at times gone passed, and at a time when photography was more of an effort to capture the image. Also a female photographer must have been a bit of a rarity back then.
