The Shipping Forecast

Mark Power

Intangible and mysterious, familiar yet obscure, the Shipping Forecast is broadcast four times a day on BBC Radio 4. Power's photographs are a response to the clash between the pictures built up in his imagination since childhood and the reality of the places he found.

Made me feel uneasy. The opening photo promised my childhood imaginations of the forecast..... but... the rest of the photos seemed to concentrate not on the 'out at see' fishermen and seascapes I yearned to see but photos of families at the seaside.
