We spent an afternoon in Whitby hanging pictures in the new gallery (have a look at the website at www.thephotospace.co.uk).
As we worked, the wind outside peaked at 35mph and the north easterly wind brought icy hail. Not a pleasant weather outlook for the Easter weekend!
The coast road through Sandsend was closed off to through traffic, so we detoured around the moors and came back to the coast at Saltburn.
The pier itself was closed as the high tide and stormy seas pounded the shoreline. We spent a little time down beside the pier and then on the way home, stopped at the top of the cliff to take this image.

New Photospace Gallery in Whitby
Well, I have been invited to display some images for sale in a new gallery in Whitby. Time is a bit tight - the opening is on Easter Saturday - so I have been dashing around getting prints and frames sorted and all that sort of stuff, in between updating my website.
I bought most of the frames myself and had the RGB labs do the professional printing. When I went to collect them, they were all the wrong size, but they were really helpful, acknowledging the problem immediately and did a second batch on the spot while I waited.
The image of the Abbey on the right is one taken last September, but only recently processed. It is said that Bram Stoker penned Dracula here, and Whitby attracts a fair number of goths, hosting two gothic weekends each year. Its a great place to visit.
This is possibly one of my images on display and available to buy. If you find yourself at a loose end on Easter Saturday, get yourself down to Whitby and say hello, I will be around most of the day and the gallery is on Skinner Street, just next to the Post Office.
Wish me luck for the opening day!

The Sex Generals
I spent a great couple of hours on Saturday down at Steetley Magnesite in Hartlepool doing some promo shots for a local band - the Sex Generals. They chose the location so I gave normal disclaimers should any accident happen - being a large abandoned industrial plant that is wide open to the public, certain parts of it are distinctly dangerous.
The band members - Paul, Ben and Richard - were great fun to work with and the some of the shots reflect that - though their style of music is darker and we went for a number of images which reflect the mood they were looking for. They can be found online at http....
And a selection of shots are visible here.
I spoke with two of the band members during this week and they are very pleased with the results. If you are a local band looking for promo shots - get in touch.
