February's online photo club challenge was 'Time' and the image had to be in monochrome.
I've long been fascinated by the well-worn steps leading down to Salts Mill. They seem soaked through with countless stories of the people that have clambered up and down them in the 160+ years since they were built. Clogs, boots, shoes, trainers and sandals .... mill workers, their bosses, village residents, visitors and more recently shoppers and tourists have left their mark. I thought the image needed something more to strengthen it and to suggest the passage of time... so I suddenly had the idea to have members of my family 'visit' Saltaire. This is my great-grandfather and my uncle.
I love this picture! That's a wonderful idea !
ReplyDeleteThat’s a great photo. Every time I climb those steps I think about the daily trudge of millworkers.
ReplyDeleteGood one, Jenny!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely powerful photo, very emotive. How did you do it Jenny?
