David G. Rose
Book Description
This book features photographs taken mostly around Whitstable, Tankerton and Herne Bay. These are well-known North Kent coast holiday resorts in the South-East of England. Most of the pictures were taken in the public domain between 2003 and 2006. They are off-beat and thoughtful and look at the eccentricities of the Great British Seaside. There are also classic night shots, snow scenes and a sunset or two, of course.
David Rose is a professional photographer and author who lived in Tankerton-on-Sea between 1999 and 2006. His pictures hang in many places in Kent, including Debenhams stores at Canterbury and Westwood Cross, at the King's Hall, Herne Bay and Westgate Hall, Canterbury. His photographs, from a bank robbery "scoop", to sunset pictures were published regularly by the local newspapers, particularly the Whitstable Times!
The theme of this volume of photographs is seasonal. There are notes about the pictures at the end of each section.

"Well, David .... what can I say other than I have really enjoyed reading my first on-line book and found the photos so 'alive' that I feel I've visited the coastal region of Kent this afternoon!" Ann Ross, Darwin, Australia
"Hello David, Just viewed your book "Seaside Frolics" after someone said I was in it! Thought it was wonderful - hilarious photo of myself standing next to both my husband and a friend, awaiting the carnival procession. Thank you for your lovely photos - I will certainly buy a copy of the book + one for my friend in the photo!" Anne N, Whitstable
