The photographers that have blessed the pavements of Paradise Heights this year are GARETH HACKING, DANIEL WARHURST, BEN MOTTERSHEAD, CHRIS LANE and GRAHAM BINNS.
First off though I have to mention GRAHAM BINNS. I hadn't origianlly intended doing a shoot this time for THE BENCH run in Lancaster. However, a teaching colleague of mine, Carol Hodge, mentioned a friend of hers - Graham Binns - that was looking to extend his portfolio and was interested in shooting some stuff for us, and he lives in Lancaster. So I gave him a call.
I'm very glad that I did, just check out some of his wonderful imagery here.

Just over halfway through the year and it's been one HELL of a year...and it's gonna get busier with THE BENCH coming up again at THE OCTAGON, promotion of THE WATCHER and STRAWBERRY JACK to premiere later this year. It's when I look back at some of the wonderful images captured by these great guys that I realise just how worth it all this is, I may be on my arse but with the volume of work we're getting out there surely that can't be for long. Even if it is I have made some fantastically talented friends along the way - who all deserve so much better and will get their just rewards. Long live TALES FROM PARADISE HEIGHTS...so much more to come...can't wait... A HUGE AND HEARTY THANKYOU TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED AND TO YOU - THE AUDIENCE... Joe xx |
