Costume drama

By -
The Bathing Belles (see previous post) managed to get themselves into the Independent the next day with one of the pics below, the Cornishman the week after, and have now re-branded themselves as The Jubilees.  Their Mazey Day display, also at the Jubilee Pool, on Quay Fair day, packed the terraces again, to resounding applause.

Organiser and Synchro Mistress Fi Read has been putting her specially designed costume to further use as part of the Waters Edge photo project.  Set up by High Tide, the challenge was simply to help them set a World Record for the most photos taken and collected from a nation on the Longest Day, June 21st.  The only stipulation being that the photo had to be near water, whether sea, lake or paddling pool.



Hopefully this one will be amongst those selected to be  broadcast nationwide across the BBC Big Screens / London 2012 Live Sites network during the London 2012 Open Weekend 23-25 July 2010.

The costume also had an outing during the Golowan Festival parade, with Fi doing a bit High Street swimming in front of the magnificent giant horses of artist Graham Jobbins .



In this unfolding drama, reporters across the country are now asking for information of any further artistic sightings of these costumes.  Have you seen one?

Tom Bawcock's Eve

This article appears in the December issue of Cornwall Today magazine  if you want to see it in its full technicolour design glory. Tom Bawcock’s Eve A merry place you may believe, Was Mouzel 'pon Tom Bawcock's Eve It's December 23 rd , very nearly Christmas, ‘Just two more sleeps, s o exciting!’ as my four year old informs me, at half past three in the morning . Later that day, in the warmth of the Ship Inn, Mousehole, glasses chink and holiday conversations flow. Outside, families stroll around the picturesque harbour, absorbing the village's famous lights as they twinkle in the gathering winter darkness. It’s a picture perfect portrait of a Cornish seaside village at Christmas. But there’s something more in the pub today, a subtle undercurrent of expectation, a buzz in the air, a reason the pub is so densely packed. Oddly, the pub bell rings out quite soon after sunset, and a hush quickly spreads through the pub’s warren of nooks an...

First Law of Surfing

I was out on a shoot last week, which just happened to be at a secret spot which only works once in a blue moon. It was a rare sunny, blue sky winter's day with a light offshore breeze grooming the swell perfectly onto a cranking A frame bank. Of course, I had no time to go in, stopping only to grab this picture before sadly driving away, crushed, under the cursed weight of the First Law of Surfing. The First Law of Surfing states simply, that : The size and quality of the surf will be inversely proportional to your ability to get to it. In other words; busy all day with no window of opportunity ? It'll be six foot and going off. Got the day off and time to search for a decent wave? Blown out two foot mush everywhere you look! Oh well, at least I got a picture this day...... Return to Ocean-Image.com

 What to put up on your wall Here at Cornish Seascapes we believe in putting a seascape print up on any wall space that's available!  But we would say that wouldn't we, so here's a few ideas from an amazing whole building design project we helped with, which was completed last year.    There were some very specific areas that needed an image, and having chosen a certain picture, the rest of the room was designed around colours picked from the photos Straight edged Aluminium prints fit well with the architectural lines.  The image is UV printed directly onto the panel which hangs flush  with the wall, so it doesn't protrude into the room. In a holiday setting it's also great not to have to worry about glazed picture accidents Seascape bedroom prints Wood framed larger XL panel, about 2m x 2m  For stairways, lobbies or hanging walls Colour matched bedroom interior  Large aluminium print from  Ocean-Image.com Wall hanging wave print for seaside ...
