Margaret Bourke-White (American documentary photographer) – June 14, 1904 – August 27 1971.

A trio of brass bottles, modelled on the famous Henderson’s Relish (Hendo’s) bottle, adorning a seating area in Leavygreave Road, Sheffield, a few yards away from the former Henderson’s Relish factory. The seating areas and ‘planter tables’ were designed by local artist David Appleyard.
A happy reminder of a wander around my favourite city on an utterly glorious day in June 2019.
If there is a finer condiment to splash on a meal I’ve yet to taste it!

I’ve started tinkering with Capture One Express for Fujifilm and this is the first image I’ve edited with it…
It’s too early to tell if I’m going to get on with the software or not but one thing I definitely don’t like is the lack of any way to add a watermark to images! (I used GraphicConverter 11 to do that here…)
