NEW LIMITED EDITION PRINT RELEASES

Yesterday, I archived the plates I made at Harwich Lifeboat Station on Sunday 8th March 2015.

They’re a set of images with which I’m particularly proud — it was a day where each of my three scheduled photographs really came together.

The view from the boathouse is such a beautiful plate. The detail recorded by the 160 year old process and 110 year old lens is simply extraordinary. I do hope you get to see the original glass plates in the flesh one day.

In the meantime, a signed, numbered and embossed print delivered to your door will be an exquisite tribute to the experience.

Remember, the Harwich prints have only just been released. They are sold from No.1 to No.50* on a first-come, first-served basis — so, act soon if you’d like an early number in the edition!

PLEASE SUPPORT THE PROJECT

I’d like to thank all those who’ve supported the Project to this point — it’s truly moving to see so many of you recognising the value in the photographs I’m making.

Remember, although the RNLI are supporting me logistically, I’m currently raising the funding under my own steam — in essence, my own form of crowdfunding.

Print sales, pre-orders and contributions keep The Lifeboat Station Project on the road. If you think the world is a better place for the photographs I’m making, please consider showing your support:

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

My thanks to the staff and crew at Harwich Lifeboat Station for accommodating me on the day.

It was a pleasure to meet you all and to make such great photographs together…
