This is the title of a photographic project set up by Faversham resident Nathalie Banaigs. The project is to display 366 photographs taken between 1 July 2007 -30 June 2008. The result, timed to coincide with Faversham's Hop Festival, is displayed as from 30 August in the Drill Hall, Preston Street, Faversham. I have walked a number of times around the Saxon Shore Way, beside Oare and Faversham Marshes, and I love the area for its solitude and ambience. I'd posted a number of photos of this area on Flickr -see link- and Nathalie contacted me -and others- to see if I would allow some photos to be used. Of course I agreed, and the final result was that 4 of my photos are exhibited in the exhibition. Every photo had to be taken on a particular different day, in sequence throughout the year. The one which attracted most interest was of a bicycle outside the Sun Inn, West Street, in which I used used selective colour, showing the sign in colour and the street in black and white. The others were of a flight of geese over the creek, a fishing boat at Harty Ferry, and the creek near Nagden with a line of pylons. The work of some 52 photographers is exhibited: most are local residents, a few like me are frequent visitors. It's an ambitious project, and an excellent exhibition. The photos are appended. Madeleine and I went to the formal opening on Friday, and had a good view around, and I met one of my flickr contacts, Jack Picknell, another non-resident exhibitor. A very pleasant evening, preceded by a visit to a really excellent Farm shop, Macknades', in Selling Street,where there is an enormous range of food: including some very fine Italian cold meats and some lovely bread flour for the bread machine from Wessex Mills.
