Brian O'connell & Gordon Sutton - Banana Shoot
Banana Shoot by Brian O'connell and Gordon Sutton
Brian said:
During our village fete in East Clandon near Guildford, I was delighted to pick up a banana cake and was told that the baker was Nigel Simpson.
A week later when I saw Nigel I complimented him on his delicious cake and said half jokingly ‘Next time you are doing one would you like to be filmed?’
He readily agreed!
Peter Stratford : 'Cuba' and 'The Incoming Time'
Cuba by Peter Stratford
Peters comments: An exploration of Cuba in 2016 when the Castros were in power and before the country’s tourism industry hit the buffers with the COVID pandemic in 2020.
The Incoming Tide by Peter Stratford
As the tide rapidly submerges the vast mud flats of The Wash, the idea in July 2022 was to capture the mumurations of the displaced wading birds. Unfortunately the birds were not in a murmuration mood – but it was still a striking site.
