In reply to Kirstin:
Yes thanks.
I did mention the embarassing error and have corected it where possible, thanks Kirstin
In reply to clairecla:
Thanks for that, its becouse Fistral is the predominant beach, but some of the pictures are taken on beaches in other areas of Devon and Cornwall also.
In work it also helps to have a popular selling point, a lot of people internationaly can identify with the surf beach at fistral in Newquay as its on the surf culture circuit.

Maby I am missing the point, but why are you being sarcastic, what is the point.?
Please dont lets go down the crazy avenue of bitching which this great forum seems to have moved away from, its such a waste of time and constructive energy.
All the best Chris.

....Chris.....you have great charismatic images full of positive energy in your collection...I have been looking at it carefully and I'm surprised that you have not been able to materialized "the book ".....but I'm wondering....maybe you should try to get in touch with a gallery in the USA......search that avenue....once a gallery represents you things become a lot..lot easier..... if I were you I wouldn't give up....and at the same time try to find a gallery in Australia.......one thing will lead to another......and I am looking forward to seeing your work being published....

How very kind of you matey I love your work as well. I have every intention of making it work,knowing where you are at and having trhe confidence to carry on is important and also an ironing out process.
The whole reason I stayed in the South West of England is so that I could photograph and film people at one with the environment and world around them rather than be stuck in a studio all the time, and I do really apreciate your kind feedback.
I love the portraits that you have on your space in my space, and you keep at it buddy I know it will work for you also.
If its OK with the studio I hope to have a few more on the Fistral series here soon. All.
the best Chris
