the pier hotel
Now Playing: the reindeer section - son of evil reindeer
Topic: jpg magazine

pier hotel, folkestone

[I've entered this photo into the House theme for the next issue of JPG Magazine.
You can vote for it and the images I've entered into the
Fairy Tale and Zen themes by visiting my JPG profile.]


During travels around the UK in 2001 I visited Folkestone in Kent on the south coast of England.

Perched opposite the (by then) inappropriately named "Pleasure Beach", I fell in love with the abandoned Pier Hotel.

The grand crescent-shaped white building sparked off all sorts of unrealistic dreams of buying it and restoring it. The balconies, the little attic windows, all overlooking the ocean.

Even the thought of exploring its interior with my camera in hand in its then derelict state excited my imagination, though I never did.

For all I know it no longer stands in any state.

Thanks once again to my wonderful models and companions on the trip to Aradale (Karen, Sandy, Tony Olsson, Greg West and Roberts Birze), Melissa Kirkham for organising the weekend, and everyone else who came along and made it a fantastic weekend.

The previous post was the last of the images from the weekend of other people. Possibly some more self-portraits to come soon.

Topic: self-portraiture

untitled #2


I took this self-portrait today in my backyard studio whilst doing a test shoot for a client shoot tomorrow. The sun behind clouds created lovely diffused lighting :o)

The image reminds me a little of the 5"x4" film photographs ZB recently took of me:

Oh, and you should vote for my image in the latest round of the Saatchi Showdown.
