Brighton Seafront (1)

Brighton was home away from home for me in the late ’70s and ’80s: Jim Boone (alias), my partner in Frisbee freestyling and various other vices lived there, and for many years worked as a lifeguard on the nudist beach. I would catch the train once a week, on average, for fun and frolic by the sea.

The sun shines off the sea pretty much all day in Brighton, making for some fine contre-jour shots
as well as underlighting the beach and surroundings beautifully

The gradual destruction of the West Pier and the proliferation of buildings on the Palace Pier provide a theme running through a quarter century of pics of Brighton

This man is working. What's the best job you ever had?
