Dogs ov Salford (circa 1996)
When I lived in Salford I used to enjoy following stray dogs around to see what they got up to. I'd sometimes carry a disposable camera with me to photograph dogs that I met on the street.
An excitable beast photographed outside the greasy cafe on Lissadel street.
An old-timer in Broughton.
A composed character taking a stroll down a side street near Salford precinct.
Two photographs of this cautious fellow taken on separate occasions: Scampering along by the greasy cafe....
...and eyeing me warily at Salford precinct.
This privacy advocate pictured near Salford precinct took offence to being photographed and pursued me barking.
Another barker defending a street-corner (Lissadel street again I think) from intrusive photographers.
Dogs loitering outside of their homes: Waiting by a front door in Broughton....
...and wriggling around in a front yard.
This dog lived on Trafalgar Road. It didn't wander far, prefering to pace up and down its own street snooping around. It was a bit of a prat.

1980's PUBLIC INFORMATION FILMS: the one that really struck me at the time was a series of farmyard accidents suffered by unsupervised children -boy drowning in a slurry pit etc. I also liked the 'Natural Born Smoker' but I think that may have been an advert.
