Kiss Me Quick, Squeeze Me Slow, Marcus Haslam (Signed A6 Postcard Photobook)

"'Kiss Me Quick, Squeeze Me Slow' takes its name from the familiar seaside slogan, but this project is more than nostalgia. It is a personal and tender portrait of Blackpool-a town of memories, humour, resilience, and quiet beauty. Beneath the shimmer of the promenade and the flicker of the illuminations lies the real Blackpool: shuttered shopfronts, chip-shop queues, side streets that never make the brochures. Between arcades and seascapes, what remains is a town that carries both loss and defiance-a tide that still rolls in, twice a day, same as always." (Words by Marcus Haslam)
