Things to see on a blustery winters night.

Numbers

If the letter "E" is the most common in the english language
could this be a plausible anagram if decoded?

Changing Lowestoft.

Ghostown by Jerry Dammers

This town, is coming like a ghost town
All the clubs have been closed down
This place, is coming like a ghost town
Bands won't play no more
too much fighting on the dance floor

Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town?
We danced and sang, and the music played in a de boomtown

This town, is coming like a ghost town
Why must the youth fight against themselves?
Government leaving the youth on the shelf
This place, is coming like a ghost town
No job to be found in this country
Can't go on no more
The people getting angry

This town, is coming like a ghost town
This town, is coming like a ghost town
This town, is coming like a ghost town
This town, is coming like a ghost town

The Specials ( June 1981)

Another Video Piece

Another video piece of mine called "F4 = Fumction 4" at the Freini Gallery, Pakefield, Winter Show. This is a montage of footage from Trowse, Breydon Water and Burgh Castle. Part of a series F1 - F12 as in function keys on the compter keyboard.

Practical Memorials

If people didn't die where would us living people have a place to sit down?

Too Late To Save A Drowning Chair.

More rubbish on the streets of Yarmouth

A nice view ruined

The sculpture at Station Square Lowestoft. What gets me is the lack of dynamism in the whole piece. It just looks like somebody has sat on it. It ruins the view as you look up the high street. They must have had other ones to choose from. Prehaps it looked good as a drawing. But then you don't choose architecture just on the basis on the quality of the drawing? What is the commisioning method behind this process? Alot of questions but who do you ask them to? On whoose behalf was this made? Who had the final say?

Reducing your carbon footprint

One outcome means you can get to from A to B a bit quicker.

A Bag For Life

For the duration of your stay here on Planet Earth plc. Wonder what the actual impact of transporting the bags in an articulated truck to the supermarket is?

Another Secret Door.

A place called "Nowhere" must located somewhere.

Secret Doors

The door to nowhere is somewhere here.

Who am I?

A trick question because I already know.

Over the years in the depths of East Anglia I've met alot of people. Found something that connects them to the deepest depths of our history, through the present and onto the future. Grassroots culture is alive and well. Its still doing what it's good at in celebrating life. Cultural practices that some had thought had long disappeared still exist. Somewhere, out there, other people will be doing this somewhere else for love of it. Everyone has a story to tell and a view point that needs presenting.

Changing Ipswich Exhibtion

Still from Ipswich Protest film by Alex Pearl

Abstract Wall Painting

There's an inbuilt need to define your surroundings

though various graphical marks.

The Impact of Living in Society

A high cost

What a load of rubbish!

This can't carry on.

Due to a variety of factors there is an ongoing issue of fly tipping in the borough of Yarmouth. As shown here in South Yarmouth.

The end game?

The writing's on the shop front.

Diminished

One of the twenty bands playing in the Lowestoft area in support of the www.saveourseagull.org.uk campaign.
As part of a rainy thursday night it's tradition in lowestoft to see a band At the Plough and Sail I witnessed two sets from this Pakefield four piece. one highlight that I liked was the medley that started the second set. It isn't easy playing selections and splicing them together in a recognisiable way without detriment to the original songs. Playing covers isn't so easy in a pub on a rainy thurday evening. but a lot dryer than playing outside even with covers.

No bum notes

No broken strings.

Time

Time to put the clocks back.
Have you still got the receipts?
Time for another one.
Only a year since they were changed.

All Change

Where the planned outer harbour is to be built at Great Yarmouth. They've already in the last few weeks started to take core samples. The place will change and I don't just mean in the physical sense as a gateway to the european mainland.
