Yet another post about the seaside - we're getting heavy on them but it's such a visual subject, projects keep coming thick and fast! This week's nod is to the humble 99 (sadly these days costing a inflated price of about £1.80, hmm) and Luke Stephenson's project, 99 x 99's.
Equip with a camera, a portable ice-cream studio (you heard it right) and his trusty Bedford Camper, Stephenson traveled the length of the British coast searching for the finest soft-serves. The aim was to stop at 99 seaside locations and photography a 99 Flake at each resort, documenting all the subtle differences and quirks. He cataloged his travels by photographing each ice-cream in his self-built studio (see video below), with the outcome to produce a published photobook.
Each location serves their 99s in different ways - using various cones, sauces and little hand touches, which have all be documented by Stephenson. If you fancy owning your own dollop of the seaside then visit his Kickstarter here.
