Photographer's Diary
Saturday 17th June Galgate Gala
Village fairs are starting to look very similar. The races a few shows and the odd fairground attraction. This was another with a wild west stunt team on show at the far end of the field. These are tremendous community get together's and each has its own energy. Unfortunately for me, though they appear quite similar and it was here that I decided not to continue trying to photograph every fete and fair that occurs in the district.
I shot a few pictures and returned home earlier than planned. The one major plus was bumping into two very old friends who work in the Asian community in Lancaster. They promised to keep me in touch with all they could and I hoped to get a chance to record something of this small but significant part of the Lancaster community.
