Inside Harewood House

Sometimes I worry that the content of my posts are a bit samey. But then I forget about it and think about how much I love the photos I’m sharing. The worlds too crazy right now and lifes too short to not share the things you love don’t you think?

So in a true to me fashion - here are some old house appreciation photos.

I took these with Kodak TMax P3200 - and then butchered them myself in developing and scanning - so if you want an accurate reflection of how this film looks when done right, this is not the post (see this review on Emulsive for the proper film writing). However if you love some film grain, a bit of amateur film developing and ‘winging it’ film scanning - then this is the post for you.

I’m personally very taken with the grain in these photos - it works with the context and I just love how this film can handle my high contrast editing too. There was a few times when I went too far and had to pull myself back, but overall, I think these reflect how truly stunning Harewood House is.

2020 366 Project 13-15

13/366 - living my star wars fantasy hehe

14/366 - I quite liked the idea of repeating some photos from my first 366 project but with a bit of variation. The first year this was in colour - but I think the texture really pops with black and white

15/366 - I totally took this because it reminds me of my sweet (also v grumpy) Pearly P.

2020 366 Project 10-12

10/366 - my favourite thing about 366 projects is that it makes you take notice of places that you walk past every day. I walked past this everyday for, probably years, and this was the first time I took a picture. Madness. Look at that texture, urgh, I love it.

11/366 - I don’t know anything about this club but I liked the idea of it because I don’t drink alcohol now, which pretty much makes me happily anti-social ha. Also I enjoyed sneaking in more reflection photos this year - because why not!

12/366 - When I took this photo, it felt like a real cop out - because I saw this view every day from the office. Now that I havent sat in that office since March, I’m really glad I have this photo.

I think looking back on these photos as the years go by, its going to feel as emotional as it does now. I hope that one thing positive that comes from this covid-19 experience is that I start to truly appreciate every moment as it is - because you can’t take anything for granted now.

All the best laid plans

My main treat for this year was going to be a year ticket for York Gate Garden and I’m so excited that its opened again for visitors so that I can go and take lots of photos - we’re hoping to go asap! These were taken last year after some particularly yummy food whilst sat in the sunshine.

I think that now, more than ever, these little details as so important to document, because you really don’t know when everything will be up in the air. As my husband quoted after finally watching Hamilton with me - ‘the world turned upside down’.*

*he has partial regret because now I’m quoting it all the time to him after 3 years of being obsessed ha. It was worth the wait!
