PRIMARY – Extended & Improved
We have some great news about our PRIMARY phonography exhibition (find out all the details here) that we can now announce:
- The deadline for submissions has now been extended to Sunday 4th March. We have had some incredible submissions but want to set aside more time to make the exhibition something really special.
- The competition is now open to up to 10 submissions from each individual. With the ability to capture many photos on your phone over the next two months we we want you to not feel restricted to just three. The same rules apply about the photos conforming to compositions using the primary colours though. If you have already submitted feel free to send more photos over as and when you please.
- The exhibition will be hosted by Albert Road’s own Bonzo Studio who are also partnering up with us in the creation of the exhibition space. More news on this soon!
- Finally, we will be running a competition as part of the exhibition where the best three photos submitted will win some incredible prizes. We will be announcing the prizes available very soon but got to say, these will be the best prize haul we have ever offered.
- We will be putting together a poster for the exhibition that will be on sale on the opening night. The poster will feature some of the best submissions and all profits from the sales will go to a local charity (details to follow soon). Due to this we need to say that any photos submitted to PRIMARY will involve you giving us permission to use them for commercial purposes, if you do not want your photo used in this way simply let us know via email.
Well, that is it for now! We really hope to drum up as much coverage locally for PRIMARY in the next couple of months so if you could Facebook/Tweet/+1 about the exhibition we would really appreciate it. We would love this exhibition to be a real reflection of the whole population of Portsmouth with everyone taking part and feeling involved.
flash mob prom ride…?
Sikes on November 4th, 2009Big step in the right direction, I guess. I imagine it will be narrow though, like the bit running from just beyond the pier to the red flat.
I do worry about kids running from between cars towards the beach, could be really dangerous, at least with cycling on the prom you have space and full visibility, both as cyclists and walkers, runners, etc.
Paul on November 4th, 2009One step in the right direction for sure.
Pudding Snack! on November 4th, 20091.2m wide cycle lanes, that’s pretty tight if there’s cyclists passing each other (unless I’ve misinterpreted the plans).
Martin on November 4th, 2009Having said that, anything’s better than it is now.
Is it going to be on the prom?
Phil on November 4th, 2009Kids running out is quite scary actually. I ride the seafront at about 25pmh or more (wind permitting of course). That’s gonna hurt all parties in a collision.
Tristan on November 4th, 2009@ Phil. It’s proposed to be on the road, behind the current car parking spaces.
Tristan on November 4th, 2009…and what about South Parade to Clarence Pier?
Martin on November 4th, 2009@ Martin. I’d assume it’s one way in the direction from Eastney. Two way would be just stupid.
Tristan on November 4th, 2009@Tristan I was being sarcastic, in reference to the headline in the article.. must invent a ‘tone of voice’ module for the internet.
Phil on November 4th, 2009Good point about the missing second half of the seafront from the plans, it was outside the D-Day museum someone was seriously hurt the other month. Not to mention the number of people reversing out without looking from the sea life centre up to the hovercraft.
Paul on November 4th, 2009Oops, just reread the report, this is just the first phase
Paul on November 4th, 2009@ Phil. Ha, sorry. You’d be surprised the questions we’re asked that are quite apparent.
Fucking Hovercraft route is the most dangerous part of the seafront. I ride the whole road and piss off plenty of motorists to insure I don’t get hit by some impatient father tearing his kids away from the kites on the common. Deadly.
Tristan on November 4th, 2009Damn that skim reading! I just went for the pictures
Martin on November 4th, 2009Yet they say it will be built over the next few months.
Tristan on November 4th, 2009I think Phase 1 is to extend the route. I guess we’ll see the outcome on Monday.
Tristan on November 4th, 2009I will ask Hugh Mason for info the next time I share a lift with him
Martin on November 4th, 2009let’s hope they don’t properly carve it up. could be brilliant, could be shite.
Dang-R-Us on November 4th, 2009This is Phase One. The News has its knickers in a twist re parking. Guess the reporter has also mis-skim read as well. Research shows there is enough parking for 364 days a year. With PCC it is softly softly catchee monkeeeee. Please folks lobby your ward councillors, and Gerald vernon JAckson with your support before Monday. This is a good step forward, better than doing nothing. Parallel parking is better than eche
Hilary Reed on November 4th, 2009ehgelon parking, though never perfect. With budgets shrinking, if we dont get this now, it will be years away.

Martin on November 5th, 2009[...] sure some of you read the article ‘New Seafront Cycle Route!’ and then the second article related to comments about said cycle route on The News [...]
More ridiculous bicycle hate comments… | Strong Island on November 8th, 2009Great news, a step forward. Strong Island is a better source of local information, than the poxy News Website.
The buffer zone, will infortunately not stop the public who can’t see farther then their own nose stepping into cycle traffic, but no doubt as in Copenhagen and Amsterdam,everybody will co exist
