Denis Dalby
Profile
I am primarily a photographer, but I have also worked in ceramics, sculpture, painting and drawing. I am very much involved in the local jazz/improv scene and played alto sax for many years. I enjoy reading and visiting galleries, exhibitions and going to concerts of all kinds of music. I love walking/hiking in the beautiful countryside around Yorkshire. I write occasionally, poetry and short stories. I live in Leeds, West Yorkshire. UK.
