Proud as the proverbial peacock . . .

[Ian D J]

. . . as some of my Folkestone-related photos I took in the past 12 months has got printed in this week's Folkestone Herald newspaper!
I emailed that small collection of images to that newspaper three weeks ago and forgot all about it, so you can image the surprised look on my face when I accidentally came across them as I casually flicked through the pages!
Okay, it's only the local rag so it may not be a big deal in itself but can't help feeling proud anyway!

There is a little story behind it, those pictures was a response to a youtube video made by a media student that really put Folkestone down by suggesting how much of a dump the town it is. That got my goat as I've lived in Folkestone since I was 4 (I'm 42) and I believe the town has it's own special charm and I proved my point with my pictures.

Well done Ian, both for getting your photos published and for sticking up for your town. Are you going to show us the pictures please?

Cheers for the lovely replies. Not sure how I would get paid for it, but here's some of the pictures I sent them. All taken in the past 12 months:

Well done Ian. Perhaps you should organise a meet in Folkestone?!

Well done Ian. Perhaps you should organise a meet in Folkestone?!

Cheers, King.

Mind you, I am quite a private person so I'm not quite ready to organise meet ups. But I wonder how long will it be before I bump into a TP reader? Or perhaps they have been passing by me without me realising it.
