Me giving a very quick New Brighton Street Art Tour for some great people.
And finally a tour of New Brighton where one guy has saved the high street with a mixture of mixed use repurposed shops and murals to brighten up the area and retain its history. Thanks @platformplaces for a wonderful time!

This portrait of Carol and Antonio was to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. The original photo was taken early on their wedding day, before Carol had even been able to get ready! She hadn't done her hair, her makeup or even put on her dress!
