justin_viiret Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Hi there, I'm pretty sure there are Brightons everywhere ... I'm in Adelaide, South Australia, and my girlfriend lives in Brighton (suburb here), next to the beach... there's one in Sydney and one in Victoria somewhere as well. :) jv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerry_szarek Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 There is also a Brighton in Mass (USA) just on the western end of Boston, however it's land locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_lee2 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Just FYI (not sure how much research you've already done): Brooklyn's Brighton Beach is a primarily Russian and Ukrainian immigrant enclave.. not sure if you'll make contact with very many documentary photogs who actually live and do their work in that area.. although you may have better luck searching the remainder of Brooklyn, or neighboring Manhattan or Queens. Bonne chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee bells and ginger Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Do immigrants not take photos? A Little offended by that comment to be perfectly honest. And i'm neither Russian nor Ukranian, so god knows how they'd feel. Good luck with the project anyway Stewart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabriel_roca Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I live in Brooklyn - not in Brighton Beach - although I used to live nearbye. Be well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy_skopar Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Most of the people in the Brighton Beach area of New York would call themselves Jewish. They are from Russia and Ukraine, but do not refer to themselves as Russians or Ukrainians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchin Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Why is it no one reads ? He said Brighton ENGLAND... You know that island nation off the north coast of Europe where a lot of the US originated from .... The place where George Bush set up Tony to get yelled at in the house of commons so much ;{) Geeze people, give him a break. I'm in New England, but will come work with you for expenses....;{) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_davidson1 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Actually I think it's you who isn't reading correctly; he's saying he lives in Brighton England, but wants people who live in OTHER Brightons to get in touch. Or am I going mad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee park Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Maybe you should reread Stewart's original request. He WANTS to hear from people from the other Brightons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry_rory Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Stewart I hope you include New Brighton (in the Wirral) in your project. Martin Parr 'did' New Brighton in his book "The Last Resort" back in the 1980s. One of my favourite books.... <a href="http://www.magnumarchive.com/c/htm/FramerT_MAG.aspx?Stat=Portfolio_DocThumb&V=CDocT&E=29YL53DQ0MI&DT=ALB">click here</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huw_finney Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I suppose the correct answer should be, yes many people live......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew_pulzer Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I can see Brighton pier (Palace) from my kitchen window and a Leica friend of mine lives in Sayers Common. Cheers Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WM Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Stewart, I live in Melbourne, Australia, and there is a Brighton Beach (suburb). I wished I lived there but I don't. It is a very affluent suburb with really nice houses and luxury cars abound. Do give me a buzz if you are doing some sort of "Brighton" project. Will be fun !

john_amiet2 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Stewart, I live at Sandringham (Melbourne, Australia)which is next door to Brighton Beach. It seems there are a number of us all close by. What project do you have in mind? Just curious.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewart_weir Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 i've been photographing brighton beach (england) for the last 3 years. shooting only black and white and with leicas. i want to make contact with other photographers (pro or amateur) with a view to create a short term cooperative of photographers to work on the following projects; 1. 24 hrs in brighton.. (we all shoot for 24hrs!) 2. an exhibition of images under the title 'this is brighton'. this will include images from the 24 hr project and those that we have already shot by the time an exhibition is ready to show. ideally this will become a travelling show... 3. a book... i've published 1 book and co written another so i have a little experiance. all 3 projects will require time and money... the 24hr project could happen within the next month.. the exhibition will take at least a year. it would be ideal to publish the book to coincide with the exhibitions etc... its possible that a book publisher could be found but i would rather self publish.. i have in mind certain criteria for the project... 1. the project is about a place called 'brighton' wherever in the world that may be.. (england, usa, oz, nz etc..) as i believe brighton (england) is the first ever brighton and its by the sea the project should be about anywhere thats called brighton and is by the sea! 2. all images must be shot with leica glass.. (voightlander and hexar bodys can be used). 3. all images will be reproduced as b&w... i would prefer that all images were shot on b&w film... 4. no digital! if your interested email me;photosw@hotmail.com www.contact-me.net/stewartweir www.reportagewedding.com<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
