Last night I was lucky enough to listen to Nick Hand talking briefly about his wonderful project slowcoast whereby he cycled the coast of Great Britain. Nick was talking at one of the Bristol Festival of Photography‘s events, Flashcube.
Nothing all that unusual about cycling round our dot, not that I could do it, but what made the journey fascinating was the fact that Nick produced soundslides of artisans he met whilst on his travels. 73 of them if I can count. And they are all precious.
Nick was showing a couple last night, and my favourite of those shown was the one about Bill, a stickmaker.
Nick is a very self effacing character, which is maybe why this project passed me by. Take some time to look at the wonderful work Nick produced…all with great, clean audio, and clear, concise imagery.
I doff my cycling helmet to you Nick, fantastic work.
