My family is very varied. Some folk never venture far from home. Others decide that they’re going to get as far away from it as possible. I was talking to perhaps the most wayward member of my family in my Grandma’s flat one afternoon when I said “Well, next time you’re in Europe, give me…
Hmm, where to start with this one? Well, I’ll try from the beginning and keep it brief. At some point nearly two years ago, I was browsing through Twitter and Tim Andrews (who happens to have Parkinsons and was well into his Over the Hill project at the time) had posted something interesting from another…
Well, there’s been a little gap as life got in the way. Predictably, the house mamil rather inconsiderately threw himself off his bike one Sunday evening and is still is recovery. I’ve heard more ‘ows’ than you can shake a stick at in the last few weeks. It’s been…interesting. I also went to Odense and…
I thought I’d cut myself some slack this for this week and take the Fuji Instax along to work, of sorts. Handily, the Little Bird SOS studio is at Greenacres, at the North end of the Great Central Railway and there’s often events going on outside the door, so Lisa and I opened the shop…
Well, this morning I opened my eyes in an unfamiliar bed and gradually remembered that I should really check my phone, for something momentous had been happening overnight and the results were due. And so I checked. And I felt disappointment. I didn’t even cheer when our reviled PM resigned – just feared the further…
Future me is going to be awfully confused. I’m behind with this but I’ve decided it’s best not to be too precious. The motto for this year has been DO DO DO. I’ve yet to achieve a balance, but balance is dull, so let’s just do it. This film was started some time ago and…
I’ve encountered quite a lot of kindness along the way of doing 52 Rolls. At least three people have bequeathed me their stashes of expired film, the Impossible Project were generous when I ordered the wrong polaroid film and had return it and a very kind man has given me cameras, bought me cake, coffee…
Well, I said they’d be some cheats, and seeing as I’m falling behind then this is going to have to do! I started this roll of film last summer and because the camera belonged to my Grandad Booth, I wanted to run family shots through it…and these things take time. But with a squeal of…
Well, using film is extra fun at a gig. The terrible truth is that when I took most of the photos here I was really very drunk, so even if I knew which bands I was heading to see at the time, now I’ve sent off the film, waited, fannied around and scanned it I…
Alright, this is chronologically wrong, but what the heck. April has been mental, to say the least. This last week has been rather wonderful photographically, give or take Week 12’s disaster. As I mentioned, I spent three nights at the Eden Project as a participant on the Big Lunch Extras course for people who do…
Except it so utterly wasn’t. It was full of pictures of the Eden Project where I’d been for four amazing days as a participant on the Big Lunch Extras course for people who do astounding stuff in their communities (and they let me in too). It was full of coastal paths, deserted beaches and an…
Due to only having enough chemicals to cover 35mm film, not 120, I eventually had to send this to Peak Imaging for processing. The delay in popping this in the post meant that there’s been a strange hiatus between taking these photos and adding them here. In terms of writing about them this isn’t good. …
