I think Tez is a bit of a northern monkey.

Better than being a Southern Fairy.

"could one excuse one for a moment what what? A glarss of your finest shandy what what.... Excuse me a moment... Jeeves? COuld you throw a beggar on the fire? It's getting nippy again."

Anyways, I live in Manchester (Chorlton to be exact). I was born in Blackpool but moved to a place about 5 miles south of there when I was young, a place called St Annes... a nice retirement village that Simms should probably take a look at.

It's not bad to shoot, it has a great beach with great sand dunes and when the weathers like it is now the waves are fantastic. Do you know when you're going to be around there? I don't mind showing you around and shooting with you.

I would recommend Manchester though, there's more stuff here. But Blackpool isn't bad honestly. Preston totally sucks though- there's nothing there at all except a train station.

Ha ha ha, I nearly burst out laughing at this... and I'm at work in a quiet office. Close call!

I'm living here at the moment (near Lytham). I come from here, sorry, I didn't make that clear did I? Heh. I moved to Sheffield to go to uni in 1999, and I moved back here in July... I'm back for about 8 months...

Blackpool I love, and like you said at this time of year the waves are awesome... crashing up over the barriers! Yep, I agree with Preston, there is absolutely nothing of massive interest to shoot, apart from maybe some interesting street scenes. Manchester, yep... never shot there, but it's a huuuuge place, so I'd imagine there'd be lots of nooks and crannies about!

cool, so do you have any dates in mind set aside for photographic purposes?

There appear to be a few things to photograph in Preston although it does appear the train station is one of them.
