The pier in Hastings has been shut for some time now and for a while it looked like there was no solution to saving it. Now however a local group has got behind the pier and are raising awareness and organising demonstrations. Here are some pictures from today. The event was very well intended and shows clearly how much people care about the pier. Let’s hope it is sooner rather than later.
This time of year the sky outside my flat are just wonderful. I thought I would share a couple of recent shots with you. Click for the larger size.
Norway is without doubt one of the most beautiful countries I have visited, mountains, trees, and fjords everywhere. The Norwegians are very hospitable, and in the North of the country, pretty damn crazy. Alcohol is expensive so many people brew their own moonshine. I may decide to add a people post sometime but for now enjoy these landscape shots of Northern Norway, from the island of Heroy.
Once leaving the Towner Gallery on my way back to the car I switched cameras and was looking for some bird shots with my zoom lens. Eastbourne has a sort of large garden along some of the front and it attracts many garden birds. Usually on the sea front there are mainly seagulls. The difference in the birds food accounts for where you will find them. Anyway these birds are obviously very used to people because I got up really close to some of them. Click for big.
On a recent visit to Eastbourne with friends we took in the delights of the newly opened Towner Gallery. What impressed me most was the building and interior. Here are a few shots, again from the new f1.4 lens. Click for big.
This one of the stairs is my favorite
This is my friend Ian who got jumped on by this Towner Gallery employee because of his camera or possibly his good looks. Its a Hasselblad film camera and was made in the year I was born.
Low tide around my home in St Leonard’s is pretty special. I’ve been enjoying the new lens and the blurred effects it can give. Here are a few shots to give you a taste.
Thought I would share some recent shots of my home I took one evening with my relatively new F1.4 Canon lens. The wide aperture allows hand held shots in low light. As always, click the picture for a bigger version.

I was strolling around London South Bank looking for locations to shoot for some fashion shoots I am planning for the future. On the way I took this one of the London Eye, attempting to get something a little different to the usual perspective. I was very pleased with the result. Here are the pictures from the rest of the day.
I’d often wondered by on the A21 but never turned in. Its more like a fairy tale cottage than a castle. Its also the place where my camera died with the fearsome ”error 99″ message. I’ll be sending it to canon for repair and buying myself a new camera in the meantime.
Back when I first got the camera I use now I was at the airport on my way to New York. That was at xmas 2007 and we had a lovely time with our friends Adam and Tiger. New York impressed me immensely. I thought after London nothing much would impress me, but New York delighted me with its attitude and architecture. I thought I would share some of the highlights with you. Most of the pictures are from the top of the Empire State Building. Considering this beast was built back in the 1930′s its still has an incredible impact today. There are prettier buildings in New York, but none as iconic or quite so big.
