# Time-Warped Hoteltography The Jonathan May 'Townview' Series is a Blast from the Past By Meghan Young | Published 2010-05-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jonathan-may-townview References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Townview-Hotel/487626) & [jonathanmayphotography](http://jonathanmayphotography.com) The Jonathan May 'Townview' portfolio documents the photographer's recent weekend stay at the Townview Hotel in Daylesford, Victoria, Australia. As though stepping through a [time-warp continuum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-travel-travel-agency), May found himself in an [antiquated surrounding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimpton-los-monteros-hotel)--which included the people as well. Funny enough, the Jonathan May 'Townview' photo series seems like a [staged photoshoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikons-vintage-popup-diner). Capturing his experience with every bit of photographic talent in him, May's portfolio definitely tells a story.
