Dreamland

Margate, Kent

The area around All Saints Avenue with its brutalist 1960s tower Arlington House and its former seaside amusement park Dreamland offered a fascinating vision of how times change. The whole area patiently awaits renewal and so these images offer only a transient glimpse into their story.

Fogbound

Looking through the window a shroud of heavy fog blanked out the view. It was 6 am and I stood to think for a moment before I grabbed my camera... Spring will be here soon no time to lose.

Poolside

I regularly walk past this small park with its empty paddling pool and really like the turquoise colour and texture of its worn concrete surface. And so, on a cold Sunday afternoon with the light fading fast, Mary and I shot some frames on both Kodak Portra 400 and Fuji Neopan 400. 

All photos were spot metered on CONTAX S2 and either ƒ2.8 or ƒ4 at 1/60 or 1/30.
