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.

God I'm Bored!
“God I’m bored,” said God, laying back lazily and gazing out into eternity. / “Surely you mean, ‘I’m a bored God,’ said a voice over His left shoulder.
Meditation
i am on the / outer reaches / of consciousness
Free Improv Style
Baritone clarinet honks and shouts / The drums attack see the band stride out
I'm On The Bus
We are on the number 40 bus travelling out of Leeds town centre. Women 1 / Excuse me driver, am I on the wrong bus? Bus Driver / Don’t know love, what bus do you want to be on? Women…
This Child
After waiting so long / Through a scanner sweetly
New Old Jazz Blues
When Ornette played the blues / He blew with passion not fashion / Freeing jazz from restriction / With conviction
