Walking piece details

“If you can’t find a photograph within ten yards of where you are, you’re not looking hard enough”. Paul Haley has been a professional photographer all his working life. As the youngest ever Senior Photographer at Soldier magazine he was posted to the South Atlantic to document the Falklands War of 1982. He recorded more than 2000 images, now conserved in the collection of the Imperial War Museum, London. The museum’s Head of Photographs, Helen Mavin, included some of Paul’s photographs in the recently published book War Photographers (ISBN 978-1-912423-66-8).
In this Radio Walk, Paul Haley guided Jonathan Kempster around his windswept and rainy home town of Morley, Leeds, demonstrating that there is an inspiring image to be found around every corner.
