ABOUT THESE IMAGES
EACH YEAR, THE SLEEPY WEST SUSSEX VILLAGE OF SLINDON ATTRACTS THOUSANDS OF VISITORS WHO COME
TO SEE THE WORLD FAMOUS SLINDON PUMPKIN FESTIVAL. SADLY, 2012 WON’T GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS A
VINTAGE YEAR FOR THE EVENT AS THE SECOND WETTEST YEAR SINCE RECORDS BEGAN HAS DECIMATED THE
PUMPKIN CROP. AS A RESULT, THERE WERE FAR FEWER VARIETIES TO CHOOSE FROM AND AS PUMPKIN PRICES
SHOT UP, THE COST OF PUTTING ON THE DISPLAY BECAME FRIGHTENINGLY EXPENSIVE. TRADITIONALLY, A
LARGE MURAL MADE ENTIRELY OF PUMPKINS, THIS TIME THERE WERE FAR LESS PUMPKINS AND NO MURAL.
IN ITS PLACE WERE THREE WICKER STRUCTURES AMID SOME PUMPKINS. WITHOUT THE SCALE AND
UNIQUENESS, THERE WAS SADLY NO SPECTACLE AND, TO MY EYES, IT WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING. IT ALSO
MEANT THERE WAS FAR LESS TO PHOTOGRAPH THIS YEAR. FORTUNATELY, IT HAD RAINED THE NIGHT BEFORE
MY VISIT SO I CHANGED FOCUS, SWITCHED TO MY MACRO LENS AND SOUGHT TO CAPTURE THE MOISTEST,
MOST EYE-CATCHING PUMPKINS I COULD FIND. YOU CAN FIND MY IMAGE COLLECTIONS OF THE LAST THREE
SLINDON PUMPKIN FESTIVALS HERE ON SLIDESHARE. THERE’S NO QUESTION THEY ARE VISUALLY MORE
INTERESTING, BUT I STILL LIKE THE LOOK OF THESE ONES. I HOPE YOU DO TOO!
