I was a big fan and I didn't know either of those facts.
I do remember one guy selling small prints on a Briggate corner but the one I remember wasn't him.

I didn't write the above. But I could have done. Word-for-word.

Among others, I have a signed limited edition printed on heavy canvas-like paper, of Rosebank Road overlooking Burley (a similar scene to one suggested by Jerry Chicken a few posts ago). It cost me more than I could afford when I bought it.

I think I remember the same guy. No Stuart Walton, he; but quite good for all that.

He sold A4 prints of his work in packs of 4 or 5 in brown envelopes quite cheaply. I've still got 'em. Somewhere!

I think fans of Stuart Walton will also appreciate the work of Bob Barker. http://www.bobbarkerart.co.uk/home.html My favourite is "Chips and Gravy" from the 2011 collection - cos I was that boy. Here's my attempt to recreate the Bob Barker look-and-feel on one of my own photographs …

Could any of you suggest a decent compact digital camera, not looking for anything too clever. Currently considering a SONY Cyber-shot DSC-WX80 camera. Looking to pay up to £150.
I have had Canon cameras since I was a kid but the compact versions don't seem to have as high a value on megapixels.
Thanks

The importance of megapixels in compact cameras is overrated because most don't have good enough lenses to make the most of the pixels. Equally think what you actually want to do with the images 12 megapixels can print very big if needed.

As for compact cameras - I always recommend people look at the Lumix range and pick what's closes to the price they are wanting to pay. Always good quality optics and good features. I still occasionally use my 2006 Lumix bridging camera when I don't want to carry my SLR around. The 6MP sensor easily produced A3 prints.
