BRADFORD.....2 CITIES

"TWO CITIES" - Pete Janaway


So basically I went out in the centre of Bradford and photographed the spots that seemed to "exude the most life" with an eye on the street lamps and shop signs that would come to light my images when returning after sun down. My point with this I suppose was to present these images comparitvely to say that night time, in all its emptiness, brings out our imagination. We create a fear of what isnt there.

I've lived in Bradford for a few years and haven't taken any pictures here until now. Some of these images stand alone as being quite "distinctively Bradford" in my opinion. What do you think?

Locations: Darley Street, Westgate, Centenary Sq, Rawson Place, Piccadilly. (Click To Englarge)


Thanks: Nina, Jen and OB.

The phantom of the opera.

Thanks to everyone who came to the launch of issue 2, which was also Homemade's 1st birthday party.
Woo's ahoy.

The Zine looks fucken sweet, if we do say so ourselves, and we are surfing the learning curve joyously.
The writing was really top notch for this one too.
Start thinking about submissions for issue 3 if you fancy.
We'll need them soon enough.

Issue 2- online soon.
Meanwhile.
Here's a far-from-proffessional photo of when the opera very briefly came to Bingley-
inbetween a Co-op and a pile of rubble. Whilst taking this picture, waiting for the 662 and marvelling at the busyness of Bingley Wetherspoons AT ALL TIMES, I also tried out the space for acoustics- probably singing this- the reverb was astounding. Seriously.
And now its gone.
PAH.
