A Daily Dose
A Daily Dose by John Byford ‘Get lost!’ – That’s what my boss told me, many moons ago, when working as a photographic assistant in London, -‘It’s the only way you’ll truly discover a place and its people!’ Off the beaten track; armed with Canon and Billingham ready to shoot and capture. The spoils of which are sampled within this exhibition. Is dust my only enemy? – It appears not. We all live in an ever increasing state of paranoia. Professional photographers in pursuit of documenting time with unique flair are no longer regarded as creative but, unjustly, with doubt and suspicion. We are under attack! Photo of John Byford by Jenny Rushby This was sound advice indeed (thanks Bossman), so wherever I travel - this is precisely what I do. The SEAS international festival was the catalyst needed to persuade John to present his long awaited public exhibition, something that he has always been so reluctant to give. “Black/North SEAS is an arts adventure that reveals in story, song and image a vision of Europe drawn from the experiences of the communities that live on its shoreline.” How better to portray our corner of the world than through the camera of a photographer who has passion for the locality and people coursing through his veins. This is apparent not only in his art, but in the relentless manner he encourages the preservation of history whilst also promoting the importance of embracing future opportunities within Skegness and surrounding areas to residents and visitors alike. John bestowed on me the enviable, but daunting, task of selection and categorisation of the photographic material. This unashamedly became completely self-indulgent! Temptation aside; my goal was to present a cross-section of respectfully honest and glamorously quirky images in comprehensive form, giving candid sampling of John’s style, albeit moderated, (no sex please we’re British) without cauterising the elements essential to building a portrait of the artist himself. “John Byford Shoots…” – cheeky – I can cope with that – but hang on a minute “…he’ll even shoot your wife?!?” – photographically only of course! Are the subjects of John’s long-term “shoot first ask questions later” mantra ready for this exhibition – who knows? Is Skegness ready for this – yes, yes, yes!

Still Comment: Absolutely perfect. I love how her eyes follow the sweep of the curve. Colors are spot on. This is Art. Blow it up, frame it, and hang it prominently on a wall of your choosing.

David Comment: wow. Breathtaking beach shot. And i like how the water “dops out”. Cool post processing! Thomas Mueller Comment: Quite simple really- I love it. Totally appeals to my graphic sensibilities. Rhys 13 - Guilty Complex? Skegness, Lincolnshire 17th August 2007 @ 17:30pm Comment: One of the biggest events in Skegness for many years happened on 16th August 2007 - the Parade Complex - one the oldest seafront hotels burnt down under mysterious circumstances? A few hours after taking this shot, what was left of the building was demolished forever, ending a piece of Skegness history.

Great thinking shot. Neil Pimperton Comment: A wet, autographed cactus (???). Ouch, indeed. Sue 19 - Bullshit!

Very cool. Rhys Baker Comment: I’m hooked by your wonderful portraits! Sue Comment: you’re right they make great subject matter. they remind me of cakes, those really expensive ones that you see in posh patisseries, the ones that you’d never buy, or even if you did you’d never eat them. Just look at them admiringly. Rhys Baker 21 - Waiting for God Skegness, Lincolnshire 18th October 2007 @ 12:10pm Comment: Yes, Jesus is Lord. And there’s really no need for waiting. He is always very near. Susan Rose 23 - Cone Hotline Skegness, Lincolnshire 1st March 2004 @ 11:43am Comment: Excellent image. I like how the orange color of the cone jumps out at you... but it takes a moment to figure out what exactly it’s jumping out from! Andrew 25 - Uniface Lincoln, England 10th October 2008 @ 17:42pm Comment: This short tunnel appears to be holding up the weight of the world.

But on this occasion, it was too good an opportunity to not take the photo. Great image! (is he sniffing his hand?) plasticfantasti 28th August 2008 @ 15:16pm 26th June 2007 15:38pm Comment: Lovely sky, both in the top and reflected in the puddles. This is a good perspective and perhaps a commentary (intentional or not) on the fields that produce our food, the towers that produce our energy, and how they coexist side by side. Harry Comment: Good shot! Nice contrasts and colors! Great title :) Osiriums Ventaka 31 - Give us a tune 26 - Scratch & Sniff 27 - Taking the Piss Baker Street, London 19th January 2008 @ 11:45am Comment: Nice industrial design! I can’t really imagine taking a photo in a public toilet... It actually reminds me of carteltoilet.com a fake webcam of the toilet in our local drinking spot pretty funny when you are having a drink with someone, they go to the toilet and you bring up the ‘webcam’ on your phone and laugh when they come out of the loo :-) nick Comment: Spot on! Rhys 29 - Ejectulation Sutton on Sea, Lincolnshire Cottam Power Station, Nottinghamshire Skegness Swimming Pool 11th March 2008 @ 09:52am Comment: This is a really weird image- the lighting is amazing, the sky looks like a backdrop, I can see a big finger crashing down on one of the ‘keys’ like something from a Terry Gilliam/Monty Python animation. Good stuff. Rhys Baker 32 - Bronchial Tree 34 - Walk the Line 36 - Space Invader Gunby, Lincolnshire Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire 11th February 2007 @ 16:50pm 10th September 2006 @ 12:02pm 20th September 2008 @ 14:25pm Comment: I didn’t see the lungs, but I do like the orientation. It helps give the sensation of laying underneath the tree. Very nice details. Thomas Comment: Hehe, this reminds me of my trip to Canada last year. I saw lots of these “arrangements” and nobody could actually tell me what the meaning is. I am sure there is a reason people do this? To celebrate something perhaps? Anyway, great title!! Heidi Comment: Huhu... phone home. Anita 33 - The Red Shoes Stamford, Lincolnshire 11th June 2006 @ 18:20pm Comment: love this - the contrasting colours are really effective. It’s always good to see a fresh way of photographing children :) Louise 37 - Life on Skegness Skegness, Lincolnshire 9th March 2008 @ 14:31pm Comment: Which planet is that from? Jeremy 35 - Cos all I want to do is.... Hull 4th August 2006 @ 16:07pm Comment: wicked shot. took me a moment to work out how they were holding the water on to the wall!!

Loti 39 - Put the Boot in 41 - Trus Me Waddington, Lincolnshire Trusthorpe, Lincolnshire 17th September 2006 @ 15:23pm 20th July 2008 @ 13:48pm Comment: Are they a couple of Brussel sprouts I can see? He could at least put a hair net or two on in the interest of food hygiene. If only Tescos/Asda/ Sainsburys knew the origins of their super supermarket food LOL. Its certainly an original fun shot John. Chris Godfrey Comment: Great shot, although I can’t look at it for too long. The brown water on top of the boot is the most repulsive brown water I have ever seen committed to interloid. Brings a new meaning to ‘put the boot in!’ Stuart Bywater Comment: where? feels somehow like some ghost towns (resorts) i’ve visited in the past up on the north coast of france. Trotsky 43 - Silly Cow Lincolnshire Wolds 23rd May 2007 @ 12:25pm Comment: This one is off-the-hook funny. It’s also a great advertising shot. You really do nice work! I bet you had to pick up and run to keep from getting slobber all over the lens by the approaching curiosity seeker. :-) Bob What they’ve said . . . Over my many visits to John’s photo blog I have developed a growing appreciation for John’s talent in capturing “people” pictures. With an unerring ability to sense the “prime moment” he captures the essence of his subject’s personality. John also has a “fine eye” for seeing strong pictorial possibilities in everyday situations. His photos of novel patterns and street scenes filled with action and people speak for themselves. Moonhead photos show a consistently high level of excellence rare in today’s photo blogging. Don D. Wiley Washington DC http://slackwater.my-expressions.com My name is Petra Overbeek Bloem. I live in the Netherlands in a town called Tilburg, which is in the south, nearer to Antwerp than to Amsterdam. On my (almost) daily routine of posting a photo, I always look at the postings of a couple of other participants, one of them being Moonhead. I like Moonhead’s pictures for their sharpness and their vibrant colours. I also like his portraits and street shots because the people on them look honest and real. To me they all look very British, what I like. I would recognise a moonhead portrait immediately, because the horizon isn’t straight. This gives the portrait a nice twist and a signature. I hope to see a lot more pictures of Skegness and its inhabitants in the future. Petra Overbeek Bloem Tilburg, Netherlands http://pobsb.my-expressions.com I was first attracted to John Byford’s photography by its beautiful boldness - vivid color, strong lines and dramatic selections. His work has visual clarity and emotional impact. If he photographs a leaf, you can bet that it will be memorable. John seeks out action, adventure and interesting faces, both down the street and across the country. His portraits capture real people and their real emotions. I suspect, however, that John was the first to be captured, and his love for people from all walks of life is clearly present in his art. In addition to technical excellence, John displays a sense of humor and an appreciation for those deep levels of beauty found in the common venues of life. Susan Rose Byron, Georgia - USA http://naturally.my-expressions.com John’s work is full of stories about the people, communities and sub-cultures who inhabit our odd, quirky and eccentric little island, but above all else his work is about us all. His work speaks about how complex and at odds life in the UK can be. He doesn’t aim to show us everything, but constructs only fragments or partial views, documenting our customs, landscapes, characters, beliefs, triumphs and failures. Photography is an Art form and Photographers are Artists- they select, record and present us with slices of life that they want us to see. John’s images stand alone by themselves but they are also steeped in memory, dialogue, celebration, anecdotes and sometimes plain ordinariness. His photographs are narratives of who we are and where we are, they speak volumes on a grand scale. Rhys Baker Darlington, Co.

Mike Comment: Ha! He has the face of a salesman. Susan Rose Comment: Magnifique composition. Beau portrait, dans un superbe décor.

This shot and the owl shot are two of my favorites from your blog. Question: was the dog behind some kind of screen, because it seems like his right ear is obscured by something? Eugene Comment: The eyes framed the way they are is perfect. Pieter 3rd May 2008 @ 14:23pm Comment: Cool! both ways... love it. :o0 Lolly 50 - Henry IV 52 - Too Much TV? 54 - Three Wise Men Cawthorpe, Lincolnshire Bugbrooke, Northamptonshire Spilsby, Lincolnshire 11th June 2006 @ 20:23pm 22nd July 2005 @ 18:21pm 10th September 2007 @ 13:09pm Comment: Henry is a great looking youngster. His eyes have the baby magic. I’m impressed with the porcelain-like skin tones in this portrait. Fine image. Don Comment: “Google eyed”! Man, this is brilliant! :-) Yes, definitely too much tv I shall think! (And too much hot chocolate too!) LOL. A very funny image this is! Heidi Comment: I like this one. It sums up many Spilsby/East Lincs people unpretentious but with lots of character and (as in this case) a real sense of fun. Brilliant shot. John Stephenson Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire 53 - Love & Marriage 55 - Laundry Girls 15th September 2008 @ 15:39pm Thorpe on the Hill, Lincolnshire Skegness, Lincolnshire Comment: When this popped into Google reader at first I only got the title with no image, so for a few seconds I wondered what I was about to see... then this appeared! Hot Damn! Rhys Baker 16th June 2007 @ 19:49pm 31st October 2007 @ 14:01pm Comment: Fascinating story, such intriguing expressions complemented by the viewpoint. David Comment: Excellent series.

Nice one (and nice matching outfits too!) Milou Comment: moo nhead. Sue Comment: This one all fell into place nicely, though I’d like to see it without the van, there’s something about the lady in the wheelchair juxtaposed with Julie Andrews that I find (oddly) appealing. Pete 59 - Two’s Company Skegness, Lincolnshire 19th April 2009 @ 18:26pm Comment: I really like this shot. The deep blue’s of course but also the two chairs have some body language going on - a narrative - very cool. Nik 61 - Football Fight Flag Fen, Peterborough 29th May 2005 @ 12:22pm Comment: This just raises your game. It looks like the real thing and is utterly powerful and disturbing. It is also a very good photograph on the technical level. Jeremy 63 - Ticky Tacky Horncastle, Lincolnshire 18th June 2009 @ 11:15am Comment: Excellent, telephone boxes as rubbish bookends.

James Gilbert – East Lindsey District Council Hi John. What a very dramatic image but also a very sad scene for your town. A million times worse if anyone had been injured or killed so something positive. Speak soon. Chris Godfrey I saw this on the local news today and wondered whether there would be something from you when I checked my feeds tonight. Seems an awful shame. Glad no one was hurt. A really nice composition of a dramatic subject. Jamie A brilliant capture - beautifully controlled exposure, and a good helping of local knowledge to capture the fountain as a great foreground. Excellent. Pete Stunning, while scary at the same time. Terrific shot. Mike What’s the story of the guy here - reminds me of Nero fiddling while Rome burns! David 94 - Blinding 96 - Fairy Dell Lincoln, England - 18th July 2008 @ 15:22pm Skegness, Lincolnshire - 29th May 2006 @ 12:01pm Comment: I’m glad you told us what it is. My best guess was a Dalek.
