A lovely account of the memory day has been written by University of Brighton, English Studies & English Literature student Anna Zehnpfund – read about the day here.
Having moved to Brighton from London 6 years ago I had never fully embraced the reason for moving down here, the sea. This frustrated me. After I met Paul Farrington and learned about the Floating Memories project I at last found the catalyst required to get me in the water regularly. Being a photographer and dabbling with video I have been inspired to document through video and stills my experiences in and around the sea, I’m not sure what will happen with all imagery but Im enjoying it and its released a passion quashed for so long.
Attached are a selection of photographic and video stills which I will be updating.
