A piece of public art, cutting out of the blanket of snow like a whale fin, made me drawn to this piece as an object of intrigue within a landscape. It was its darkness, its contrast set against the whiteness of the landscape that drew me to take this picture.

My friend Alistair and I were working together in Brighton when a sudden flurry of snow started falling down upon Brighton. On our lunch break we cut out of the office and headed to the beach. Once there, in a spontaneous moment, Alistair started running wildly towards the ocean, his arms aloft and waving in the excitement of the moment as the West Pier loomed in the background like an ominous shadow.

This picture describes the relationship of a father and his daughter, of the strength of the father (my dear friend Ben) carrying his younger daughter on top of his shoulders. The composition of which is set against a triangulation of people, placed in twos, with the tip of a windmill barely creeping out of the top of the hill. The windmill creates its own triangle that subtly mirrors that of the human forms around it.
