Having more time to myself means that I have more time to explore different areas of photography. Yesterday I was over in Hastings and spent a short time on Hastings Pier. The pier itself is unusual in that it is essentially a blank canvas, a community space quite unlike the traditional seaside pier. It’s new and was the winner of the 2017 RIBA Sterling Prize<\/a> as the best new UK building. Interesting as the design is, the pier is not proving commercially successful<\/a>. Whether the minimalist approach to shared space will survive is very uncertain<\/a>. The possibility is that a buyer (if one can be found) will significantly change the nature and purpose of the pier (i.e. turn it into a traditional penny arcade style of pier). <\/p>\n
