I have taken pictures of buildings in Ipswich that are old so that they relate more to my storyline.
My story: Since the current mayor of Ipswich was elected, many people have claimed to have seen the ghost of Ipswich's very first mayor- Benjamin Brame.
Each of the photos below are supposed locations that the ghost has been spotted.
Ipswich Town Hall
This was the mayor's home and workplace. This was also where his body was found.
This photo was exposed for 20 seconds at F8.
St. Peter's Church
The mayor and his wife attended this church every Sunday.
This photo was exposed for 15 seconds at F8. I also used the burning technique around the edges of the window to make certain areas darker.
St. Peter's Church
This photo was exposed for 25 seconds at F8.
St. Margaret's Church
This is where the mayor's grave lies and also where he and his wife were married.
This photo was exposed for 10 seconds at F8. I have also altered the contrast to M40.
The grave of Benjamin Brame
This photo was exposed for 5 seconds at F8.

"Mr President"
2006
Photographer, Llyn Foulkes, explores the underside of the American dream. His dark humour portrays the absurdity of conflicting truths in contemporary life. His particular distaste for all things political permeates his work and ranges from a local to a global scale, encompassing art world politics to World War II. Foulkes began working with cartoon imagery, including the iconic Mickey Mouse, in the early 70's.
In June 1963 Buddhist monk, Quang Duc became famous when he was photographed setting himself alight in a suicide protest against the South Vietnamese Government.
"Behind the Gare Saint- Lazare"
Photographed by French artist, Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908) in 1932. Cartier-Bresson travelled and photographed many political hot spots producing images that were published in magazines and newspapers around the world. In this photo the camera has caught a man in mid-air jumping over an enormous puddle. The posters on the fence say "Railowsky" which was the name of a circus. If you imagine that the pool of water becomes a circus ring and the man an acrobat, the picture suddenly changes dramatically. The roofs in the background transform into a circus tent and the rings become hoops for performers.
This Pulitzer prize-winning photograph taken during the Vietnam War on June 8th 1972, shows a girl, Phan Thi Kim Phuc, at the age of about nine running naked down a road, after being severely burned on her back by a South Vietnamese napalm attack.
The photographer, Nick Ut (1951), works for the Associated Press (AP) and is best known for this particular picture of young Kim Phuc.
