ABOUT THESE IMAGES
EACH YEAR IN OCTOBER, A SLEEPY LITTLE VILLAGE IN WEST SUSSEX BECOMES THE UK’S UNOFFICIAL
PUMPKIN CAPITAL. SLINDON, NEAR CHICHESTER IS KNOWN FOR THREE THINGS: IT WAS WHERE BODY SHOP
FOUNDER, ANITA RODDICK MADE HER HOME, IT’S WHERE SOME BELIEVE THE GAME OF CRICKET WAS
INVENTED AND IT’S WHERE THE UPTON FAMILY GROW PUMPKINS AND CREATE AN ANNUAL ARTWORK WITH
THEM AT ‘PUMPKIN C0TTAGE.’ THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME I’D SHOT THE FESTIVAL SO THE CHALLENGE FOR ME
WAS DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO WHAT I’D DONE PREVIOUSLY. WHEN I ARRIVED AND MET UP WITH
ROBIN UPTON, WHO SHOWED ME SO MANY DIFFERENT VARIETIES, IT BECAME CLEAR THAT I NEEDED TO
FOCUS ON THE INDIVIDUAL PUMPKINS AS MUCH AS THE TABLEAUX. INDEED, THE MORE YOU LOOKED AT THE
FRUIT, THE MORE LIKE HAND PAINTED ARTWORKS THEY APPEARED. I LOVE THAT UNUSUAL TRADITIONS LIKE
THIS STILL EXIST AND JUDGING BY HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE THERE, I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE. EVEN THOUGH I
HAVE TO SAY THIS YEAR’S DESIGN WAS A LITTLE UNINSPIRED, I THINK IT PHOTOGRAPHS REALLY WELL. I
HOPE YOU LIKE THE IMAGES!
