Neon Exhibition and Blackpool Photography


I love Blackpool. Let's be honest, not many people would say that; it's unbelievably tacky, rains about 363 days of the year, but I think it has a really lovely charm to it. As I grew up visiting every year for the illuminations, I have such happy memories there and I think the place has such a nice atmosphere. 
I went to see the exhibition Neon: The Charged Line. I got so excited when I found out I was going because I am obsessed with neon signs. This exhibition was a photographers dream: so bright, colourful and shiny. I also had time to visit some of my favourite spots in Blackpool; Coral Island arcade, which was also full of neon from the games and the lights. I also visited the north pier arcades which were a lot more deserted, but I found a really interesting beauty in it. I think there is such a hidden beauty in Blackpool that people need to see beyond cheap tat and hen nights.
