Return to Hull<\/strong>: Monday 20th February 2017 was the last day of a short visit to Hull, the city where my wife was born and grew up, and where I made my first sustained photographic project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I wrote in 2017, “I was trying to visit as many of the locations where I had photographed back in the 1970s and 80s for the show and the book ‘Still Occupied – A View of Hull’ and which I’m currently putting on the ‘Hull Photos’ web site, a day at a time throughout Hull’s year as UK City of Culture.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can still see those photographs on my Hull Photos<\/a> site, though there are now larger versions and more pictures in my Flickr albums – links at the end of this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017 didn’t want to do a straightforward “then and now<\/em>“. My earlier pictures were not simple topography but a more personal view of the city, and both it and I had changed in the 45 or more years and I was determined to look at things differently – and with different photographic parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I had then photographed mainly in black and white and with only a moderately wide 35mm shift lens, in 2017 all of my pictures were in colour and my main interest was in the much wider scope of a roughly 140 degree panorama rendered with a cylindrical perspective which I had been using for some years in my personal urban landscape projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll post here under the various headings in my 2017 posts for the day on My London Diary<\/a>. Here I’ll just post pictures but you can read much more on the links to that site I give for each section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We went on to visit some exhibitions and it was soon time for dinner, but our day had not ended and afterwards we walked into the Old Town and to the Humber Street Gallery where I took this picture looking over the rooftops to Holy Trinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
