Way before I really started to embrace the urban photography scene, my subject matter was the beach especially sunsets and low tide at dusk.....one of the benefits living on the west coast 😁✌️

Some more film photographs, taken over a decade ago in Blackpool, some of these spaces no longer exist, but some are still there 😁✌️I usually try to avoid people in the frame, but the pigeons are an occupational hazard 😁🐦

Adding a new roll of film and taking the first frame, was often done in the kitchen, this in turn led to a series of domestic kitchen photographs, revolving around food and drink - all shot on film 😁🍲✌️

Also Blackpool.....I keep thinking about a collection of non-street work, being west facing the sunsets are amazing at times, there is also some very fierce weather too, thankfully not too often 😁✌️

Sadly it's now just a pile of rubble....

The end of the affair, or at least the end of capturing a favourite of many photographers visiting the resort wanting a break from the more traditional views. Some shots of the brutalist complex taken over the years including it's last days.

Occasionally I do take film photographs, that said it really isn't that much of late. These shots are from over a decade ago, and remain some of my favourite photographs, taken with one of my many film cameras...all shot in #Blackpool ✌️😁 #photography #filmcamera #streetphotography #urbanphotography

Street corners, one of my favourite approaches to capturing #Blackpool. It's something that I kind of fell into as opposed to consciously setting off to do. Perhaps an element of anticipation, expectation or the moment held.... maybe just because it looked OK 😁✌️

Inside one of the many fast food places and cafés across the town, I think the chair colour is 'burger bar blue' ✌️💙😁 I could photograoh these places all day long!

We often talk about opportunities presenting themselves. After wandering around taking photos of the side streets, stopping to get a drink before heading home and looking up after sitting down in a popular fast food chain...

Being on the west coast, Blackpool is blessed with great light many evenings ✌️😃

The omnipresent tower, a beacon a night and icon during the day. It immediately places any photograph it appears in.....though there is still the occasional confusion with a certain tower in Paris! 😁✌️

So many phone boxes to shoot even though they are a dying bread, I still see them on the streets of Blackpool, their light illuminating the gloom of the night. ✌️😁

Inside the pink building, late on Saturday night.
No people about, footfall at minimum, Blackpool out of season. Days are dark and nights are long.

The quiet of the resort during the winter months at night...cold and empty, faint hopes of warmer days to come 😁✌️

The closed quiet of a seaside town out of season, it's not just the lack of people, but also the shuttered buildings and the endless grey days that completely change the atmosphere of the town 😁✌️

This place, old police station and courts, had been a favourite haunt of many photographers visiting the town, due to its brutalist design. Some have mixed feelings of the intent to demolish and redevelope the space 😁✌️

Side streets and alleyways, always taking the long way home....unless it's raining ✌️😁

As a kid, I used to have a map of the world on my bedroom wall, staring at it as I went to sleep every night, it clearly imprinted on me in such a way that when I see render falling off walls, I immediately think of that world map 😅✌️

This place is one of those rare finds that you have to almost rub your eyes to believe what you are seeing. A mothballed café tucked away at the back of an amusement arcade.

Capturing the multitude of fast food places around the resort when there is nobody in them became a bit of a passion project, the same way I avoid streets with cars, I have the same feeling about takeaways and people 😁✌️

I do try to avoid scenes with cars, and will often walk away from an opportunity if there are too many. Very rare to see something like this with a lonely van being the only vehicle 😁✌️

I would dearly love to spend some time photographing inside each and every one of the guest houses in the resort, but will have to stick to exteriors 😁✌️

Facing the west coast, as the sun starts to dip, the light takes on a warmth that transforms many of the street corners across the resort. This is one of my favourite spots and popped up on Flickr explore today too ✌️😁

As nice as it is to see all the people having fun on a hot summer's day, seaside towns out of season have their own unique atmosphere especially at night.
