Four-generation family portrait taken by Keighley-based studio photographers Hall & Siggers, 1940. The family consists of William Thomson (1854-1942), his daughter Mary Spedding (1879-1970), her son Stanley Spedding (1907-1969), and his baby, Gordon Spedding (b: 1940).
William Thomson was born in Aberdeenshire in 1854. He relocated to work as a carpenter on the Settle-Carlisle railway and met Esther Burrow to whom he was married in 1877. They lived in Halifax, Bradford, Alnwick, and Newcastle before settling in Keighley in 1886, and they had six children. He worked for Prince-Smith & Son and Hall & Stells, and joined the Keighley Co-operative Society. For thirty-four years he was head of their joinery department and he served as the Sixteenth President of the Society (29th October 1891 - 25th January 1894). He was interested in political and social questions and served two stints on Keighley Town Council (1901-1903, 1904-1908). He died in 1942.
Stanley Spedding, born in 1907, was educated at Keighley Boys' Grammar School, and the School of Art. He worked with his father, Ernest Spedding, before returning to Keighley Boys' Grammar School as a student teacher in 1937. He then taught at Cleckhampton, Appleby and Cambridge before moving to Carlisle in 1947. He spent a period of time in prison during the Second World War as a conscientious objector. He died whilst living at 'Brackensgill', a built from scratch bungalow at How Hill, east of Carlisle, in 1969.
Hall & Siggers was a partnership between Harry Hall and Frank Siggers who had worked together in Chelmsford, Essex. Hall had had two photography studios in Chelmsford. Their work in Essex had included projects for William Gill, former president of the British Professional Photographers' Association. Looking for fresh fields from which to operate, the pair moved with their families up to Keighley in 1909. Hall & Siggers bought up the studio of Keighley photographer Alexander Jennings at 105 Cavendish Street.
Hall lived above the studio with his wife, son (Gilbert Wigg Hall, b: 1894) and daughter. Gilbert served as an apprentice in the photography business before he moved to London. He served in the Royal Fusiliers at the start of the First World War until he was wounded in 1916 then joined the Royal Flying Corps where he served as an aerial photographer's assistant. He returned to Keighley in 1919 to rejoin the Hall & Siggers photography business just as the ten-year agreement between Harry Hall and Frank Siggers was coming to an end. Siggers went to Leicester, and Harry Hall and Gilbert Hall became partners in the business.
Gilbert himself had two daughters with his wife Lilian, including Margaret J. Hall in 1924. The family continued to live at 105 Cavendish Street. In 1926 Gilbert became sole proprietor of Hall & Siggers, although his father continued to lend a helping hand well into his 80s. The business flourished, including expanding to a second studio in Skipton from 1927 to 1934. Up to eight assistants were employed across both shops. In 1935 the business relocated to 4 Cavendish Street. As a firm they took individual and group portraits as well as building and landscape photography. Their work was included in various official Keighley Corporation publications.
While living in Keighley, Gilbert also served as a church warden for Keighley Parish Church and as secretary of the Parochial Church Council. He also held office in the Three Graces Masonic Lodge at Haworth from 1942. Gilbert continued the Hall & Siggers photography business up until July 1955 when he and his wife retired back to Essex. His retirement was covered in the Keighley News of 30th July 1955. By this point he felt the business was not profitable enough to sustain a large studio and that many contemporary photographers did photography as a sideline to their main business. The premises at 4 Cavendish Street were taken over by the Pearl Insurance Company.
Item uncovered as part of Simon Spedding's family history research. A digital copy of the item was donated by Simon Spedding to Keighley and District Local History Society in September 2018.

A full interview with the Israeli painter Raphael Perez (in Hebrew Rafi Peretz) about the ideas behind the naive painting, resume, personal biography and CV
Question: Raphael Perez Tell us about your work process as a naive painter?
Answer: I choose the most iconic and famous buildings in every city and town that are architecturally interesting and have a special shape and place the iconic buildings on boulevards full of trees, bushes, vegetation, flowers.
Question: How do you give depth in your naive paintings?
Answer: To give depth to the painting, I build the painting with layers of vegetation, after those low famous buildings, followed by a tall avenue of trees, and behind them towers and skyscrapers, in the sky I sometimes put innocent signs of balloons, kites.
A recurring motif in some of my paintings is the figure of the painter who is in the center of the boulevard and paints the entire scene unfolding in front of him, also there are two kindergarten teachers who are walking with the kindergarten children with the state flags that I paint, and loving couples hugging and kissing and family paintings of mother, father and child walking in harmony on the boulevard.
Question: Raphael Perez What characterizes your naive painting?
Answer: Most naive paintings have the same characteristics
(Definition as it appears in Wikipedia)
• Tells a simple story to absorb from everyday life, usually with humans.
• The representation of the painter's idealization to reality - the mapping of reality.
• Failure to maintain perspective - especially details even in distant details.
• Extensive use of repeating patterns - many details.
• Warm and bright colors.
• Sometimes the emphasis is on outlines.
• Most of the characters are flat, lack volume
• No interest in texture, expression, correct proportions
• No interest in anatomy.
• There is not much use of light and shadow, the colors create a three-dimensional effect.
I find these definitions to be valid for all my naive paintings
Question: Raphael Perez Why do you mainly choose the city of Tel Aviv?
Answer: I was born in Jerusalem, the capital city which I love very much and also paint,
I love the special Bauhaus buildings in Tel Aviv, the ornamental buildings that were built a century ago in the 1920s and 1930s, the beautiful boulevards, towers and modern skyscrapers give you the feeling of the hustle and bustle of a large metropolis and there are quite a few low and tall buildings that are architecturally fascinating in their form the special one
Also, the move to Tel Aviv, which is the capital of culture, freedom, and secularism, allowed me to live my life as I chose, to live in a relationship with a man, Jerusalem, which is a traditional city, it is more complicated to live a homosexual life, also, the art world takes place mainly in the city of Tel Aviv, and it is possible that from a professional point of view, this allows I can support myself better in Tel Aviv than in any other city in Israel.
Question: raphael perez are the paintings of the city of Tel Aviv different from the paintings of the city of Jerusalem
Answer: Most of the paintings of Jerusalem have an emphasis on the color yellow, gold, the color of the old city walls, the subjects I painted in Jerusalem are mainly a type of idealization of a peaceful life between Jews and Arabs and paintings that deal with the Jewish religious world, a number of paintings depict all shades of the currents of Judaism of today
In contrast, the Tel Aviv paintings are more colorful, with skyscrapers, the sea, balloons and more secular motifs
Question: Raphael Perez Tell us about which buildings and their architects you usually choose in your city paintings
Answer: My favorite buildings are those that have a special shape that anyone can recognize and are the symbols of the city and you will give several examples:
In the city of Tel Aviv, my favorite buildings are: the opera building with its unusual geometric shape, the Yisrotel tower with its special head, the Hail Bo Shalom tower that for years was the symbol of the tallest building in Tel Aviv, the Levin house that looks like a Japanese pagoda, the burgundy-colored Nordeau hotel with the special dome at the end of the building, A pair of Alon towers with the special structure of the sea, Bauhaus buildings typical of Tel Aviv with the special balconies and the special staircase, the Yaakov Agam fountain in Dizengoff square appears in a large part of the paintings, many towers that are in the stock exchange complex, the Aviv towers and other tall buildings on Ayalon, in some of the paintings I took plans An outline of future buildings that need to be built in the city and I drew them even before they were built in reality,
In the paintings of Jerusalem, I mainly chose the area of the Old City and East Jerusalem, a painting of the walls of the Old City, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the El Akchea Mosque, the Tower of David, most of the famous churches in the city, the right hand of Moses, in most of the paintings the Jew is wearing a blue shirt with a red male cord I was in the youth movement and the Arab with a galabia, and in the paintings of the religious public then, Jews with black suits and white shirts, tallitas, kippahs, special hats, synagogues and more
I also created three paintings of the city of Haifa and one painting of Safed
In the Haifa paintings I drew the university, the Technion, the famous Egged Tower, the Sail Tower, well-known hotels, of course the Baha'i Gardens and the Baha'i Temple, Haifa Port and the boats and other famous buildings in the city

Went climbing this evening. I realised just how small my climbing shoes are when I took one off and put it next to my other shoe. I wear a UK9 and these shoes are UK6.5.
Question is - Does the pain make me a better climber? I doubt it:)

"Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves ... Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point it, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps, then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer."

There are times while looking over my shoulder that I find myself questioning where I have come from and where I am going to. On this day I am thankful for being able to ask these questions. I do know that I need to start preparing my contribution for today's Thanksgiving dinner!
Happy Thanksgiving!

OVER THE SHOULDER
How to capture a person in a picture? That is the question when it comes to portraits. However, this assignment allows me to think about the people I know and care about and decide what they are recognizable for. Adults have always found their nitch in life by the time they are older. It has always been easy to describe what you remember someone for when reminiscing. However, children can be harder. Children are my passion and they are who I decided to focus on. They are fun and playful and that’s why I decided to play with the pictures and have fun with the kids while I was taking their pictures.
Portrait 1 is a picture of my neighbor girl. She is the thrill seeker. She has always the one jumping off the swing, climbing to the top, and hanging upside down. This was a no brainer to put her upside down on the play set, she was over eager too. The picture had the bars of the swing set giving it some frame work through the picture. The picture was taken in shade and so the black and white seemed perfect with the light on the ground that seeped through the leaves of the tree.
Portrait 2 played off the angle for its fun. She is always riding her bike and asking me to take her on a bike ride so when I asked if I could take pictures of her, she ran back and returned with her bike. I used the light behind her to create more of a contrast. Black and white seemed perfect to create a more depth and contrast to the background of the blank sky and houses. I used her shade to from the sun to allow the brightness and focus of her. The light behind her makes her stand out from the background. The houses in the background give lines to picture allowing a frames look to her.
Portrait 3 is of my niece. She loves her bath time and is always playing in water when possible. She loves to have water poured on her face. She loves color so it was perfect to show the picture in color and show the color of the tub. The pool wraps around the body giving a separation to her head. The expression of excitement and expectation of the next glass of water is perfect. The lighting could have been better but the look of expression was what I was going for.
The self portrait was taken by someone else but turned out the way I wanted. I wanted a picture of me doing what I love. Riding my motorcycle is what calms and excites me all at the same time. The Sophia setting was used for this because it helped give the contrast I wanted between me, the road, and the surroundings. The lights on the motorcycle in the picture are perfect because it draws in the eyes but doesn’t overtake or reflect oddly. I knew I wanted to use the lines of the road. Also the poles and lines of wire compliment the picture nicely.
Portraits are wonderful for expressing someone’s passions and feelings. It’s hard to express with words but a portrait can show the expression on the face and in the soul. A photo can only tell the story. It was my job to create the story. I captured the story and they provided the emotion. Each picture came out better than I imagined. They also show exactly the memories I have of each child. I hope all of you can see their passion as much as I do.

Pembelton seems to be a popular little chap judging by all the questions I've had about him and more importantly his release date. I have really enjoyed making this little chap and want to make Pembelton special for each person ordering himl, to this end I've decided not to do a 'general' release.
What I have been doing is taking requests for colorways from collectors who would like a 'Pembelton' in their collection and producing an individual custom paint job just for them. The price of each Pembelton is £50 including shipping. If you'd like a little Stranglefoot to come and live with you, drop me an emai. I'm working on another couple at the moment and have just cast a small number more - the next few months are looking to be very, very busy so get in quick.
If you can't wait for an Octo fix the little chap above #4 is up for grabs (he's sporting a lovely black glossy finish with red highlights).
Thanks again for all the support
