Product Description
Product Description
When he gave up smoking in the 'fifties, John Moore was able to buy a camera with the money he saved. This book, with its 56 monochrome photographs of the Yorkshire dales and dales life, is the result! The book is more than a colourful survey of the dales it is a potted history, for many anecdotes, picaresque characters and old customs are captured here through the lens of the camera and the sensitive mind of the author. The reader will be taken back not only to the days of Lady Anne Clifford, to the days of the carthorse and the blacksmith, but will witness the passing of the steam railway and the changing seasons in what must be one of the most beautiful parts of England.
About the Author
Born in a Cumbrian village in 1915, John Moore was involved with farming until he moved into the dales in the 'fifties. From a child he had always been interested in photography and now took it up as a freelance.He learned the art of sheep photography for breeders' flock books and apart from weddings and press work, he became involved in photographic projects in the dales. Meeting so many people in his work, he came to appreciate these sturdy folk of the dales.

By michael@zestworld.org (Sherringham, Norfolk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Camera in the Dales: A Photographic Record (Mass Market Paperback)
A Camera in the Dales is a photographic diary in monochrome! With its authentic photographs and pictureque verbal memories, it is a magical evocation of past customs in one of the most romantic dales in Yorkshire.When he gave up smoking in the 'fifties, John Moore was able to buy a camera with the money he saved. This book, with its 56 monochrome photographs of the Yorkshire dales and dales life, is the result! The book is more than a colourful survey of the dales - it is a potted history, for many anecdotes, picaresque characters and old customs are captured here - through the lens of the camera and the sensitive mind of the author. The reader will be taken back not only to the days of Lady Anne Clifford, to the days of the carthorse and the blacksmith, but will witness the passing of the steam railway and the changing seasons in what must be one of the most beautiful parts of England A thoroughly entertaining volume for its picaresque views of people and a place beloved of many! The photographs are a visual extension of the text which is clearly written by someone who loves the Dales.
