Kieran Turner's photos

I really love Kodak Portra "natural colour" film. I took this snap of my friend Giles in the pub garden, then handed him the camera and got him to take one of me with exactly the same settings. It's the adjacent shot in this photostream. Pentax ME-Super, 50mm SMC f1.7 lens, Kodak Portra NC 160 (35mm).

Lorem ipsum facilis magnat sit dolor amit. For the "tenuous links" group, the connection, obviously enough, is "signs"...

PC ("Pussy Cat") posing. Which is cool in its own right. She appears to have taken a proprietory shine to Suzi's swimming shorts too. I *like* long grass, by the way.

PC ("Pussy Cat") through a Pentax ME-Super with its 50mm f1.7 lens held on backwards :)

Lewes (East Sussex, UK) suffers really badly from flooding, since most of the flood plain has been built on, especially in the latter 20th Century when various concrete-floored retail parks and industrial estates have sprawled well beyound the railway goods yards they began in. Here some pumps dump water from the streets back into the river after the flood has begun to subside. It had been so bad that domestic insurance companies set up emergency contact centres in the back of lorries!

Was it a brain Scarecrow needed? This one was spotted on a little country lane in East Sussex, north of Lewes.

The strange vignette effect is there on the print. Unintentional but oddly attractive I think. In the middle of the frame is my Brighton flat from 1996/97.

No particular connection to me. But I love Telscombe because there's a kinda secret way there. Travelling east along the coast after Brighton, there's not another tarred road north until Newhaven. But there IS a legal road, running across Telscombe Tye. In the other direction (from the village) it's marked as a dead end. But it also has 60mph signs! Exploring it, and finding a gorgeous little village at the end, complete with red telephone box, was like discovering a lost world.

The white stone around the south coast of Britain is really striking in the summertime. Here, just outside Brighton, a track has been carved right down through them to let emergency vehicles get down to the shore.

You guys liked my last Brighton seafront shot (it's my most viewed and most favourited photo on flickr) so here's another oldie I like :) Pentax ME-Super, 50mm, UV filter.

I just love this. It cost me doughnut and a lot of patience. Try to work out how come the pier is running parallel to the coast ;-) Nikon fixed-zoom automatic (!)

An old jute factory site in Dundee. Nigel, an old friend from Sussex Uni, had moved there for a year at the University. To Dundee, that is. He wasn't living in the factory ;)

Ah, what can I say, really? Alix Courtney, now Macfarlane. Once the Vice-President (Communications) at the Sussex students' union, once the guardian of Claymore the white rat, and once my girlfriend, all too briefly. *goes all wistful*

At the lovely sunny wedding of our friends Cath & Mike. Piers has subsequently sloped off to America to write episodes of Star Trek and Penny is researching things in Germany with her Bulgarian. Or something close to that.
