This short film reminded me of the potential of the format--the simple premise of the photographer sitting in his office telling us about this unusual town and showing us pictures is intriguing. I thought it was great.

The photographer said, halfway through the film, "I don't know what to do with thee pictures." Neither do I. I suspect that my poor hearing missed some of the threads that might have drawn it all together. I felt a bit misled by the introductory comment that the town was "hostile to outsiders", yet the photographer seems to have found acceptance over time. "Skinningrove" depicts a forlorn and gray existence, a view perhaps worth documenting , but I never picked up a reason why I should care.
i like the photos i like the story behind it_i never could have stayed there to take the photos & know the people in them
A narrated slideshow, an intimate portrait of a small fishing village in Northern England. Great photos of kids and teenagers.
Very interesting little village. Great photographs and commentary. I enjoyed this very much. Wish there were more.
Exquisite bleakness of a bleak place of birth and death. In its suffocating closeness to a never-ending sea. A sad beauty.
a photo album of a small town.
wonderful, absorbing and thoughtful, showing the photographers feelings about his subjects and the subjects unspoiled feelings about the moment..
