A spontaneous glimpse of real people living real lives, being who they are and doing what they do, captured with empathy and affection by a native who has rediscovered his roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMerseyside is a place where no-one is truly a stranger: people are happy to be who they are and to accept you as you are, with humour and good heart. I wanted to capture something of that spirit and then to hand it back in a way that says 'Thank you for being who you are - you're great!'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book emerged from what became a three year project to celebrate, in photographs, the people of Merseyside. It's not been a sentimental journey: my approach has been simple - I would spend time in an area or place I was drawn to and be as open and aware as I could be to what was happening around me . Occasionally, something speciaI would happen - often for only a fleeting moment - and I'd take the shot before it was gone - or not, if I'd missed it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat I've put into the book is really a collection of stories: if you spend time with each picture, you'll see a moment in the real-life stories of real-life people living their lives as I encountered them; not always flattering, but true and real and always seen through the eyes of a kindred spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barry Male\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1916260705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781916260702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alternative Occasions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 11.00w x 0.27d","brand":"Barry Male","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437139669247,"sku":"9781916260702","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a33895e8-a1f1-49fd-a641-fc32c9bd2dec.jpg?v=1777160134","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-touch-of-scouse-barry-male-9781916260702","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
