Eighthundred opened last night at Grand Hall, Albert Dock and will be open every day 10am-5pm (except Thursday when we're open until 8pm) until Sunday September 9th. The launch was a massive success and the place was packed by 6.15, only three quarters of an hour after we'd hung the last panel of photographs!
So thanks to all the photographers, to the designers Black & Ginger and to all of our supporters and sponsors.
Over the next week we'll be showing some of the images along with some stories and details about the individual images.
Keepin' It Rhyl by Mark McNulty
- These photographs were originally shot for Plastic Rhino magazine and it's 'Keepin' It Rhyl' issue which was a guided walking tour of North Wales' finest resort. The issue of the magazine was originally to be called Twin Towns and was going to be split between Berlin and Rhyl. However, somebody (Tony Crean) came up with the title 'Keepin' It Rhyl' and not being able to decide something as good as that for Berlin, we decided to run with Rhyl throughout the whole magazine. Since then I've been back at different times to photograph the crazy golf course for my 'Rocketships & Windmills' book and to use the place as a backdrop on fashion and bands shoots. The latest news is that Rhyl's notorious West End is due to be regenerated so I'm about to start going back to continue with these photographs and maybe even produce a book at some point in the future. Thanks Mark McNulty

Don't push me
Just came across this from a few years back and it made me laugh.
