Blackpool 1

Description: I went to Blackpool last Friday. The weather was phenomenally bad, but it gave me the opportunity to grab some shots to turn into "alternative" seaside postcards, inspired by Morrissey's miserablist anthem "Everyday Is Like Sunday". This one also owes a little something to Edward Gorey.

Re: Blackpool 1

Just because the weather didn't cooperate doesn't mean all is lost. You found a fantastic use for what you were given. Very refreshing and different! Not to mention inspiring too!

Re: Blackpool 1

Excellent, makes me think of what a postcard from Royston Vasey (league of gentlemen) would look like. My kind of stuff.

By a bizarre coincidence, my travelling companion on this trip actually lives in Hadfield - the real-life Royston Vasey. On the way back to her house, we passed the famous war memorial and Hilary Briss's butchers shop...
(I assume from the photo of Edward in your avatar that you're a L.o.G. fan. Unfortunately, our non-UK members probably won't have a clue what we're talking about)

Re: Blackpool 1

Hell yeah! Psychoville was great. And I love Papa Lazarou...although maybe "love" isn't the right word. "You're my wife now!!"
