Brancaster Staithe Wednesday

Fangman · 19-10-2007, 22:54

Asked to do a series for my nautical friends as charity fund raiser in the form of "photo sketches"

Resting

Waiting for the tide

The 20th hole?

Ebb Tide

Routine maintenance

Transport ashore
All have been printed on textured watercolour paper approx 12x10 so keep your fingers crossed those who I describe as having a hobby that is matched by standing in a freezing shower tearing up £20 notes! Having been dumped in the North Sea with aircrew life jacket and experienced the cold and emptiness of being alone for an hour with only the next wave as company - I am happy to leave them to it!

Nicely done

What a great series! And perfect treatment for the medium - I'm sure that they'll sell like hot cakes (which is a nice irony, what with all that cold sea!)

If they don't turn out to be a money-spinner for them, nothing will!

Great set

Excellent set here and hopefully will make a heap of money for the charity. How much are you selling them for and what charity is it Fang?

Cheers

Glad you folks liked them - didn't know if they still qualified as "photographs" or should be in image manipulation.

These will mainly go in a charity Auction at a Rotary Sportsmans Evening where the main cause will be a local Childrens' Hospice. The last one of my prints framed (of Ely Cathedral) made over £100 so keep your fingers crossed.
A couple of weeks back I was persuaded to exhibit at a local craft show in aid of Eye Operations in India - even sold some prints of Ely Cathedral! I took a laptop - took the pictures of the children downloaded each one (or of a couple of the same family) then as they watched produced a drawing from them. They were collected the next day and parents were bringing back other children! I said I wanted nothing - put a donation in the box and these went from a couple of pounds to £20. Since then I have had some more children brought to the house for "Granny" fodder and again they have made donations for drawing and 6x4's of the original. Now further requests for family groups so may have to start another career!

This treatment does suit these images, and for a good cause too.

Great work,

Dan
