The man in the tower.

[Ralph Turner]

Saw this interesting art on the side of the viewing tower at Ness Point, Lowestoft.

Wow, that's really arresting and interesting. I wonder who he is?

 

[Ralph Turner]

Cheers, Rob. I just did a search, something I hadn't thought about doing before now, but probably should have. Apparently he's a local chap from Pakefield called Malcolm Wright. This portrait was taken by a well known local photographer called Gillian Allard.

A stunning portrait that looks out to sea has been unveiled close to Britain's most easterly point.

This does potentially open a bit of a can of worms and leaves me feeling slightly uneasy. This image of the old man 'peering out' of the tower is my take on what I saw but, of course, the portrait belongs to Ms Allard...

Found Object. Don't find then object

I'm absolutely sure you are not the first or last to capture that image, or even change it (b&w). Anyone who puts their art out there must surely give up some control over it?

 

[Ralph Turner]

Yeah, that's pretty much what my iffy logic tells me, just my paranoid brain lol.
