I'm not sure if it's because I'm English and read more into them, but certainly the juxtaposition of Indian's in a traditional English seaside town speaks volumes to me. Whether you meant it or not, rather than just photographs of composition, I find some of these project a strong sub-textural story. The 'ice-cream' shot is particularly good in this respect, also the white guy with the dog next to the seated Indian's (or Pakistanis). With my documentary filmmaker's head on, this sort of photography, that captures and projects more than just the image, appeals to me more than any other. We all love your walks through fields and country, and long may they continue, but I'd really like to see more people through your lens. I detect your observational sense of humour in the previous 'exercise' shots, which gives you the 'eye' to see these elements of contrast in a subject. The UK seaside towns in all their tacky working-class glory are rich pickings for documentary photography. They highlight changing Britain in many ways. I sit here now on the other other side of the world wishing I could go to some with my camera right now. You'll have to do it for me Graham :-) Many thanks.
