Fascinating! Wishing you every success.
Thank you, Simon. JL
Really Great Work, Im a photography student and about to document Shoreham lifeboat station for my final university project, would you be able to offer any advice? Thank you
Excellent! Make sure you contact the station in good time. Make good use of the RNLI website and the station’s own site to find out the right person to email (usually the LOM or Cox’n). Then write to them describing concisely what you’d like to achieve. Bear in mind stations have lots of photographers who’d like to visit, so be prepared to follow it up with a phone call. I hope it goes well for you – let me know! Jack
Jack,
I saw your work on Countryfile and as a photographer who still shoots, develops and prints my own b&w stuff, I loved your work. So much depth to your shots and fantastic resolution from the LF camera. Do you use wet or dry plates?
Paul
Hi Paul, I’m making wet plates. You can read more about the Project here. Jack
Met Jack Lowe this morning at Aberavon with Lifeboat Project van and it was a revelation to hear about his lifeboat project. It is truly amazing and I hope many people will support him along his way.
Thank you so much, Christine.
Thank you, Christine. Great to me you too.
thanks for yesterday Jack it was great to met you and the photos look amazing. Angela, Williams mum has asked me to ask you to send her best onto your family. Enjoy the Scillies
Thank you, Paul!
I felt very fortunate to be able speak to you yesterday and to watch you work today at St Mary’s today. Fantastic project. Looking forward to you visiting Weymouth.
A grand day in Filey today . . . a fascinating project. Keep up the grand work Jack . . . and enjoy Yorkshire !
Thank you, John. Great to meet you.
Grand to meet up again this week Jack. Thank you so much for giving me information and I look forward to following TLP in future. A stunning project and so pleasing to view a Master at work. Take care.
Wonderful to see you on the Yorkshire coast, John. Thank you for all your support. Best wishes, Jack
Jack visited us at RNLI Kessock recently and it was a truly magical amd inspiring experience. So much dedication and passion. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words and for all your help. Best wishes, Jack
Just saw your exhibition in Aberystwyth – at the National Library: the most interesting photographic exhibition I have ever seen, a wonderful project that will have lasting impression on all visitors and provide an historically important collection of images.
Gosh. Thank you very much for visiting the exhibition and for your kind assessment of my work. Very glad you enjoyed it so much. Best wishes, Jack
Met you today at Whitstable, Kent. Didn’t know you were there! Was visiting myself from Manchester on a coach trip. Amazing how you do it and produce such good work. All the best.
Excellent to meet you, Valerei!
Great to meet you in Walmer yesterday Jack. Thanks for the time you gave to us all at the station explaining the process and showing the final results. Everyone was blown away with the photos. Good luck with the rest of the project. You’re on the downhill stretch now!
Thank you, Chris. It was wonderful to meet you all and such a beautiful station too.
Jack, the memories are fixed! Being able to help with the process really has made a difference. The smells of the process reminded me of the school darkroom all those years ago. Each plate has frozen in time not just an image but the whole event – people, weather, smells, movement, the lot. Accompanied by the Spitfire barrel rolling overhead, quite fantastic!
You’ve described the experience so well, Jon. I’m so pleased to hear the impact my visit has made on you and the rest of the crew at Dover! Very best wishes, Jack
Great talk at the Sir Max Aitken Museum last week. Loved the parallel between your work and Beken. Good luck. Caroline
Thank you, Caroline. It was wonderful to meet you and glad you enjoyed the talk. Best wishes, Jack
