My photo stories Part 1 project brief was to get hold of old photos and stories from my past (of visits to the coastal edge of the UK in the time period 1958-1976) and to then connect them to new photos and stories of these places. On this page (Portfolio #1) I include a small selection of the new photos I gathered. Click here to see the photo stories / blog posts for Part 1 – Old photos and stories (visits made July - September 2022).
