Mark Gibson
Freelance Photographer
When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in B&W, you photograph their souls! "UNKNOWN" I have been working as professional photographer for over 25 years in the West coast of Scotland, my work regularly appears in the Herald and Evening Times and is syndicated out to the National press . I mainly photograph News, PR, Advertising, Current Events, Sport and Features. Every day its something different, somewhere different. Mark F Gibson

FREE FIRST USE PICTURES Pictured Spark ! Drummers Paisley Halloween festival kicks off with spooktacular parade Paisley town centre came alive this evening with a Friday fright night spectacular as the town’s two-day Halloween Festival kicked off. Thousands turned out to see a lantern-lit parade headed by the Spark! LED drummers take over the town’s High Street. They were joined by hundreds of young people from various community groups, many of whom donned elaborate costumes, specially made for the occasion. The fun continued with a fire garden and outdoor illuminations led by outdoor arts specialists Walk the Plank against the backdrop of Paisley Abbey and Town Hall. The event was organised by Renfrewshire Council as part of the build-up to Paisley’s bid for UK City of Culture 2021. The fun continues on Saturday with live music and entertainment as well as Halloween-themed kids activities from noon until 9pm.

FREE FIRST USE Pictures Paisley Provost Anne Hall was among thousands who turned out to see the Scottish town’s Hallowe’en parade on Friday night, with the festivities continuing on into Saturday. The town, which has declared its intent to bid for UK City of Culture 2021 (open to large towns as well as cities) pulled out all the stops to give revellers a night to remember. A lantern lit procession snaked through the town’s streets led by the Spark! LED drummers. They were joined by hundreds of young people from community groups, many of whom donned elaborate costumes made specially for the occasion. The fun continued with a fire garden and illuminations created by renowned outdoor art specialists Walk the Plank, centred around “spooky" Paisley Abbey. Paisley’s annual fireworks display on 5th November and Christmas lights switch-on - this year on 12th November - will also be full of surprises.
