Giving Up The Ghost An Exhibition of Photographs by Mark Duncan
Giving Up The Ghost-Succumbing to time and vandals: The Lookers' Huts of Romney Marsh
This is not a huge exhibition, but I feel it is an important one as I am attempting to hightlight the plight of the Lookers' Huts. These buildings are part of the unusual heritage of farming on Romney Marsh and are doubly unique - each one is different from the others and they do not exist anywhere else in the country. There are now only twelve remaining that are not complete ruins. Of these twelve, a few are in good condition, but most are delapidated and in need of repair and some are seriously in danger of diappearing soon. These are my photos of those huts that I think will be the next to go.
28th August - 30 September 2010
The Romney Marsh Visitor Centre, Dymchurch Road, New Romney
10.00am - 4.30pm Mon-Fri, 9.00am - 5.00pm Sat-Sun

cc Andy WilsonI didn't intend to stick to a theme but Priya here, in a "health-food" kiosk in the Old Town was great. Had a long chat about cameras, light and stuff. I didn't really capture her very well though. She had a great infectious smile I managed to miss entirely with my camera. If you're ever passing and see her, just smile at her so she smiles back. It's worth it.

Stilted Colours by Andy Wilson (Photo of the Day)

So I shot still photographs with black and white film.
Claire Hamill (Stage Door Johnnies) by Barry Reid (Photo of the Day)
© Barry ReidThis is a shot for my 'performers' series to be taken on and around Hastings Pier, with local people who have been out there to perform. This is Claire Hamill in one of the backstage dressing rooms.
It is part of a dypitich with the room more brightly lit, in it's present state. The artificial lighting and the focus on the performer hark back to the old days of the pier as space in use. There is an extra layer here as Claire wanted to use the dressing room as it's a re-creation of her "Stage Door Johnnies" album cover.
Thanks to Claire for sitting, Tina for all her help and Phillip for the Mirror.
Strobist - 2x Elinchrom d-Lite 4it at 45 degrees left/right. Powered from a Tronix Xplorer XT. The lighting on the mirror powered from a seperate battery and Invertor supplied by the mirror's owner.
