It is free after all!

Nice to see the logo I designed for the boys hung up and in full effect.

Fresh, Local, Fish

On an early morning bike ride in Southsea a few months ago I ended up at the harbour and had a look around Johnson’s fish wholesalers who were kind enough to welcome me in to take photos of them at work. All sorts of fish and shellfish are available (you can even look at the live lobsters and giant crab in their tanks) and the guys working there were really knowledgeable, even going though every fresh fish and telling me where it was caught, much of it local to Portsmouth and the surround area. I grabbed some fresh cod fillet to grill for my lunch (cheap too), highly recommended if you are up and out early.

Visit Forever Circling to see more photos.

Vision for The Hard

“Establishing a strong role for The Hard as a distinctive city gateway and vibrant waterfront destination is a central component of the vision for the area.”

“Vision: to shape The Hard into a vibrant waterfront destination, building on its function as a key city gateway and its reputation as an area of historic character and charm. New passenger facilities, cultural opportunities and places to live, to work, to stay, to eat and to relax will enhance the experience of visitors and residents alike. The creation of a distinctive public realm will revitalise and transform the area.”

Overview details include, materials, architectural lighting, designing out crime, green infrastructures, conservation, cycling and so forth as well as proposals for individual areas including the long row of arches on Ordnance Row and opening galleries and cafes on Queen St & College St whilst maintaining all the original characteristics of some of the buildings.

Some pretty interesting proposals are available to view and read HERE.

Sunday Darts

Sunday night saw the Taswell Arms become Southsea’s own Lakeside with a darts competition with almost 20 players getting involved. Needless to say there was some shocking darts thrown but there was also some tungsten magic too, with Nick ‘The Lightning Bolt’ Lightening coming out on top in the final.

Expect more Southsea adventures from the oche with Little Johnny Russells now adding a dartboard too. Here are some photos from Sunday night…LETS! PLAY! DARTS!

PRIMARY – A Phoneography Exhibition by Strong Island – Call for entries

This coming new year we will be proud to announce our latest exhibition PRIMARY, a Phoneography exhibition by Strong Island and we are even happier to announce that it’s open to you, the readers.

With the continuing increase in impressive camera technology in mobile phones and the ability to alter, tweak, post process and upload the photos to social media networks and websites like Instagram, the popularity of Phoneography has never been greater.

The ‘of the moment’ ability to take a photo at almost any time and any place by most people has really driven the fact that the camera does not make the photographer. By which I mean, you don’t need an expensive camera to take outstanding photos.

Agreed, the quality of the physical image may not stand up to the big guns, but new learnings in composition, style and aesthetic by a new generation of camera users via online media has really driven this popularity, and encourage people to go beyond a ‘quick shot’.

PRIMARY invites you to get out and about around Portsea with your mobile phone camera and take photos of anything and everything based around the three primary colours red, yellow and blue. What you photograph is entirely up to you, but submissions will only be accepted if they stick to the theme.

The call for entires has now begun and the deadline is the 31st of January 2012 with the exhibition being held in March of 2012. Photos can be taken on any mobile phone model and we ask that a maximum of 3 photos per applicant are sent in to primary@strong-island.co.uk.

Please submit along with your photographs your name, photo title, phone model, location of photo on the island and any post process apps you used, if any, to achieve the final shot.

We look forward to seeing all the entries, and the final installation will be something special using every photo submitted in a slightly different fashion from your average photographic exhibition. CLICK HERE TO PRINT YOUR OWN POSTER

It’s going to be a Strong Movember – Closed at £725

Righto chaps, it’s time to clean shave your boat race and get that mighty moustache on the grow in support of Movember for The Prostate Cancer Charity and the Institute of Cancer Research. For 30 days of November you can help support and raise awareness through selflessly parading your top lip for charity.

The funds raised in the UK support the number one and two male specific cancers – prostate and testicular cancer. The funds raised are directed to programmes run directly by Movember and our men’s health partners, The Prostate Cancer Charity and the Institute of Cancer Research. Together, these channels work together to ensure that Movember funds are supporting a broad range of innovative, world-class programmes in line with our strategic goals in the areas of awareness and education, survivorship and research.
