Tread Gently......Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 8 December 2007 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio. ....for the ground is paved with headstones of people long dead. I wandered into this churchyard in Macclesfield in the hope of getting a photo of the front of the church when something made me look over my shoulder.....the directional light coming from the gateway made me realise that I was not walking on normal stone paving but rather on the grave headstones of people long dead. . Whilst reviewing this photo before loading it I happened to be listening to the fantastic and moving lyrics of the song 'Hier Encore' by Charles Aznavour. It's in French but I prefer it to the English version which is not an accurate translation - anyway these words and the photo happened to combine to make me appreciate all that's good in life. I always try not to take the good things in life for granted but this was a bit of a reminder to myself. Are you like me - has photography opened your eyes to the beauty that surrounds us all? . "Hier encore, j'avais vingt ans Hier encore j'avais vingt ans Hier encore j'avais vingt ans . .
There'll be a series of 6 photos showing the work of professional Cockle Pickers on the dangerous, shifting sands of England's Morecambe Bay. I know you can't believe it, but it's true....really! For purchasing high quality archival prints of any of these photos you can send me an email by clicking here or by going to MY NEW WEBSITE where prices are listed in the gallery sections under each individual photo. Links to the websites of other photographers whose work I love and who have all helped me enormously over a long period of time. I find the work of all 3 to be inspirational.
