Surrealism Battles Regeneration in Cheshire Street

I’m sometimes asked the question: ‘How do you choose the subject for the day?’. I suspect that people may think there is a carefully sculptured 5 year plan. In reality, like today, I often get diverted from my original idea by taking the ‘wrong turn’ in my archive.

Making a ‘wrong turn’ can be fatal as you can easily loose 2 – 3 hours through being sucked into the archive. Every picture tells a story (particularly if you were the photographer). Perhaps these diversions are healthy as I become more familiar with my 40 year old archive.

So todays Photo Blog is a series of photographs which simply caught my attention and continue to fascinate me.

An amazing combination of objects with a man being drawn into this surreal installation. This was a free show but because of ‘regeneration’ such sites are sadly becoming very rare.
