 262,000 DWT Tanker Tyne Pride, Leslie Street, Wallsend, 1975 (or could it have been Davis Street?) I took this photo in 1975, developed the film, put the negative away and forgot about it. I re-discovered it in 2008. It is the best shot that there is of a tanker towering above the streets of Wallsend. (If ordering a print, the image above is Tyne Pride A, below, Tyne Pride C) |
 This shot was taken at the same time as that above, I like it because it puts the emphasis on the street rather than the ship. Pop singer, Sting, was brought up in the next street along. |
|
The top photo of Tyne Pride is my most popular photo, undoubtedly due to its widespread use by Sting. However I liked the second shot focusing on the street. So I decided to crop the second photo a bit more tightly to reduce the emphasis on the street and put more emphasis on the ship. Here is my latest version. At the moment it is my personal favourite. |

Over the past few years, 2013 - 2018, I have been subject to identity theft,
impersonation on internet, threatening and offensive, abusive emails. The guy doing this has set up webpages
supposedly set up by me, that offer my copyright photographs to anyone who wants them, and/or have been abusive.
He uses email address that incorporate my name.
This person is Chris Robinson, a 77, (2022), year old embittered, ex-art teacher, originally from Newcastle, who hangs around Chiang Mai, Thailand. I have never met this guy and had no involvement with him until he took a personal dislike to me in early 2013. Here are the full details of the problem. Another person has had similar harassment from this guy, you can check his blog, and learn more about his harassment. 1st Sept. 2013. Robinson has just emailed me from Thailand telling me that he has set up another website using my photos, (and another using tunes from my tunebook webpage). He is using the email address, pete.loud.photographer@gmail.com. If you receive a weird email, it is not from me. The police are involved, so if you receive anything that is offensive or libellous please forward it to me. |
