About
the Photographer:
Jonathan Boakes, 32, lives and works in the harbour town of Looe, Cornwall.
As well as photographing the changing countryside, Jonathan is also the
head of Darkling Room Productions, the creators of websites and computer
games.
Already Autumnal was commisioned to capture the months
of September, October and November. These autumnal months are a quiet
time for Cornwall's tourist industry, with many feeling that the county
still has plenty to offer to those curious for a holiday at an alternative
time fo year. The regular sun-seeking families have long since depearted,
come November, meaning the towns of Looe and Polperro become quiet, people-free
ghost towns to explore at your leisure.

The
photographer says: "Autumn
is my favourite season. A lot of people say that, I know, but in my case
it is definitely true. My birthday, in November, is always a special time.
The quiet streets of the town (Looe) are far more pleasant during this
time. Searching the streets and beaches for inspiration is a pleasure
when lit by the warm, soft, Autumnal light. It has been wonderful to complete
this exhibition of photographic prints, which I hope capture some of the
mood and atmosphere of the county at this time of year.
