Tony Worrall Foto's photostream
|

Photography has provided an outlet for my creative nature and continues to provide balance between the scientific/logical and artistic/spiritual sides of my being. Balancing the technical aspects of the images and their capture; with the artistic elements of capturing or processing the image and the emotive response of the result of that endeavor; I continually seek images which connect me to the wonders and joys of life. What a BUNCH OF CRAP. I just enjoy the process. :-)

My style is urban (urban hiking), exploring backstreets taking images that interest me. You wont find many people portraits here. Predominantly, my site features images of the City of Preston, cause I live there. However, it's also become a photo travelogue of the UK. You will also find here images of:

Pink Flutterby ƸӜƷ © OFF says:
"I never knew how beautiful Preston was until I joined flickr 4 months ago and added Tony as a contact.
His passion for photographing Preston has inspired me to want to discover and learn about my home city even more.
If I ever want to find some place to take the kids on a sunny afternoon, I'll be going through Tony's photo's to find somewhere new in Preston I've not seen before."26th April, 2010

Preston Digital Archive says:
"Just when you think you know all their is to know about Preston, up pops something entirely new to me. Tony has a superb eye for detail in all that he does. Their is not much of the city that has escaped his lens."

Rick McGrath says:
"I live in Canada but I may have seen more of Preston than the locals, thanks to Tony and his ultra-inquisitive lens. Bars, graffiti, buildings, statues, streets -- all are fodder for Tony's unique blend of the historical and the artistic, as he deftly blends his interest in the real and the abstract in s great collection of informative, yet emotional photographs. I always look forward to new additions to Tony's always-rewarding photostream!"

"I think Tony Worrall's photo's of Preston are brilliant. I was born in Preston and I moved away when I was 17 but seeing his photo's have certainly livened up my memories of the old place and put a broad, wide smile on my face. Thanks Tony !!"

Mr. Ducke says:
"Tony takes photographs well, but more importantly he "sees" interesting photos in the most unexpected places, and brings them into being. I always find something to enjoy in each new batch he posts.
One more thing: the city of Preston should be paying him a salary! I had never heard of Preston before meeting Tony on Flickr, and now I would like to pay a visit there someday. Tony's vision gives the lie to that whole "it's grim up north' thing.."6th January, 2009

Stu Price says:
"Tony takes some great photos of the Preston area. I grew up in Penwortham and love seing his images of my old stomping grounds. His pics are simple but always interesting. Keep up the good work Tony."
