Ice cream and amusements at the seaside
Since childhood, photographer Jon Pountney has been drawn to the Welsh coast. A new exhibition brings together His photographs from The Past decade.
Pountney's work focuses on The Details of a visit to the Seaside - discarded food cartons, an ice-cream van parked up waiting for The Sun to shine, an empty cafe with The Light filtering through the windows.
" Across The Coastline of Wales is a dizzying mix of natural beauty, coastal war defences, wastelands and towns and villages, " Pountney says.
" Some are Set Up as resorts. Others are sleepy, quaint places without the touchstones that we apply to places like Barry Island , Rhyl, or Tenby. I Am pulled into this nostalgic confection, which reminds me of Growing Up near Filey and Scarborough in the 80s and 90s. "
" Seen from Our Family Mini in the early 1980s, The View of The Derelict Filey Butlins Holiday Park , with its empty pools and faded Art Deco grandeur, left an indelible mark on my imagination, as did the excitement of the colours and sounds of local amusement arcades.
" I've had lots of memorable chats and encounters with people, all around the coast. People are Great - and they make a project like this come to life. "
" I'd say my favourite picture from The Project So Far is The One of Barry Island in The Storm .
" It was a total fluke in that I was the only person on The Beach and as The Rain really started to pour, a single sunbeam travelled over The Sand and caught me.
" I stood with the camera ready focused in The Hope it would happen. "
Wales at the Seaside can be seen at, Wednesday to Saturday, 25 June until 30 July. More of Pountney's can be seen on His .
