Karl: I love your photo of the boat's silhouette. Outstanding stuff. I spend a bit of time down near the docks at Dover and often see a version of your photo as I look across The Channel and watch the ferries while my kids are paddling in the sea or walking on the shore. Occasionally I have a camera in hand and attempt a snap, but rarely do they have the same impact as yours. Lovely stuff.

Thanks Ed! I originally come from the south coast, just outside Portsmouth. I don't know what the seascapes around Dover are like, but the ones up here are more dramatic than the Solent. I went up to Orkney a few years ago where they are even more amazing. I'd love to travel around taking photos of great British seascapes.

Sooo many fab images here with a lot of love, longing, or both. Ed, Vicky, like you I love family pics which become such a great document over time. I'll look up John Perkinson but apart from the obvious names like Sally Mann etc, I really like Robin Grierson's work

Indeed he is. I spent quite some time looking through his blog yesterday afternoon. Thanks for the link though, Other Ed.

 :D

I'll be checking out Herr Grierson too. Thanks for the tip, guys.

really great Vicky. Your photos always have a beautiful sense of light and colour.

I do look forward to seeing what everyone has been up to on these weekend posts. Another series of great work particularly like those by Calisbu Calbisu and Al (especially the grasses).

Here's one from a film developed Monday night (foma 400 in LC29, taken on an unbranded made in China thing with fixed aperture, shutter speed and focus)
