Hastings Zombie Walk!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of not only photographing, but also taking part (Follow the link below to see my make-up and costume) in the first annual Hastings Zombie Walk! This was the first time this event has ever happened in Hastings, East Sussex and there were only about 100 zombies (great for a first attempt!), but it was still great fun to be a part of it! The atmosphere was really nice and we did all get some funny looks!

"When Hell gets full, the dead shall walk the streets of Hastings!!!"

Many more photos of Hastings Zombie Walk

Oops, I kind of forgot to blog for a little while! Really must try harder!!!

Been up to lots of things recently, latest was exploring Speckled Wood in Hastings, East Sussex. A really beautiful place that I had never been to before. The sad thing is that I only found out about it because there is a campaign to save it as developers want to bulldoze it and turn it into houses, which sounds stupid to me! I know there does need to be expansion, but its really hilly, full of tress and has streams running through it, there must be easier places to develop instead of somewhere as beautiful as Speckled Wood!

My first cover photo!

I have had one of my photos on the cover of a magazine (The Rother Homes update magazine) before, but it was just a small part of the cover. This months (July issue) Hastings Town magazine uses one of my pictures for the whole cover! A pretty big achievement for me. There is also another four photos of mine inside, three on an article about the Alexandra Park War Memorial restoration project and another in an article about Lesley Carver's life as she was growing up in Hastings. Its a new magazine (only up to issue 6), but a very interesting one with many stories of Hastings past. I moved to Hastings for the first time in the early 90's and I have learnt a lot about the history of Hastings from every issue I read. It does also feature many things about today's life and events in Hastings and even the future plans for the town. Aspex Design (i.e. Me!) is a non profit organisation, so my payment for the photos was nothing, but its a great bit of publicity!

Hello Jim and Gemma (The people behind the magazine) if you read this.
