1000th image on the site.

I decided to choose this composite image for the 1000th image in my Portfolio Site as it's a prime example of the work I've done since 1996 in documenting the changing face of Manchester. This previously unpublished image appears in my April 2004 Eyewitness in Manchester picture quiz. No 1 Deansgate was designed by the inspirational Manchester- based architects Ian Simpson Associates.
