PHOTOGRAPHY: Colour photos of Hastings events
Whilst I have used photography extensively for many years and indeed used to teach it at Working Men’s College back in the 1980’s, I tend to see it as a mainly as means towards capturing images for my paintings or prints.
These photographs are a sample of the many I have taken over the last couple of years which will probably never be used as paintings. Many are of local events in Rye and Hastings or are esoteric views of details of these towns.
Bonfire night in Hastings.
Hastings Sea food and wine Festival: Held on the Stade by the net huts in September
Hastings: Jack in the Green in May
Hastings celebrates a bewildering array of festivals: The Jack in the Green, Old Town Carnival week, the Seafood and Wine festival and of course the Bonfire procession which confusingly is held in October to coincide with the anniversary of the Battle of Hastings. All are an opportunity to dress ups and generally act a bit silly!
Around the junk shops of Hastings
These photographs were the result of a expedition around the multitude of Junk and antique shops in Hastings and feature some of the bizarre mannequins and dummies that seem to crop up with frightening regularity!
