EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Setts DP074158" captures the intricate beauty of a cobbled street surface in the Castlefield Area of Manchester. Through the lens of photographer Derek Kendall, this image offers a mesmerizing close-up view that unveils an abstract world within these historic setts. The photograph showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating this centuries-old street surface. Each individual cobblestone tells its own story, bearing witness to countless footsteps and tire tracks over time. The textures and patterns created by these interlocking stones form a visual tapestry that is both visually striking and evocative. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, imagining horse-drawn carriages traversing these streets or locals going about their daily lives. It serves as a reminder of our rich architectural heritage and how it continues to shape our urban landscapes today. Derek Kendall's keen eye for composition allows us to appreciate the subtle nuances found within this seemingly ordinary subject matter. By isolating a small section of the cobbled street surface, he invites us to explore its hidden intricacies with fresh eyes. "Setts DP074158" is not just a photograph; it is an invitation to pause, reflect, and appreciate the beauty that can be found in even the most mundane aspects of our surroundings.
