The Night
Who Owns the Night is a current project.
I am blogging the process at shipleynights.blogspot.com
I am also looking for models who live in and around Shipley.
Are you happy to talk about your experiences and feelings about using the spaces around Shipley after the sun sets?
Are you willing to be photographed in locations of your choosing?

In our own words

I'm a tour guide in Saltaire and I wear Victorian clothes at the tours. Tours take place in daylight and also on dark evenings. People in the group interact differently when it's dark and it's fun. They are less inhibited and there is a calm and stillness. Unless there is a thunderstorm.

I travel on buses and trains. I walk a lot as well. Shipley and Saltaire feel OK at night and Leeds is OK too. Bradford doesn't feel right.

6th November 2025 The Aire now passes beneath the M1 motorway ino lands that were once open cast mines. Its meanders have been taken out , the river straightened so as not to flood the mine workings. The craters are now filled with water and life but the river's former looping route has not been restored.
3rd November 2025 This is Stourton from the river bank where the vegetation was too prickly to get through wearing shorts. It was a fabulously fine day and nice to see these cheerful, if not natural, colours.
26th October 2025 Posting photos, I also do some research and here at Aire Mile 51, I find that the River Aire is not in its natural route, but has been moved over to the North East of its original course. Blimey!
2nd October 2025 I've got four talks arranged now and am looking forward to an exhibition by photo book producers at the Impressions Gallery in Bradford. I'm at Mile 44 now and am nearly half-way to Airmyn and about to enter Leeds.
