Around Leeds Part II

I originally shared the first part of this series in 2016 - so I’m a little bit behind in sharing these - oops!

It turns out that I took a lot of photos in 2016 that I never shared here though - I guess my priority really was my 366 project ha. I’m thinking of making it a leap year project so that means I really need to start thinking about stocking up film for next year as 2020 will be here before I know it!

Did you know that theres an Egyptian inspired temple in Leeds?? I really don’t know why I havent shared that here before - but now you know!

Single Frame: Leeds Festival 2016

I’ve been slowly updating my Flickr page now that I’m paying for it and that means basically uploading all my photos from 2016 onwards - I got super lazy with Flickr once I could start using the stacked galleries here on Squarespace. The plus side of having to go through all my photos is that I keep finding photos that I had completely forgotten about - like this one of a ride at Leeds Festival when we went in 2016.

Single frame series inspired by Jim Grey as always!

Edinburgh Little Details

It’s been nearly a whole year since we were in Edinburgh so I’m a bit late sharing these. But I got round to it, and thats what matters.

I’ve been struggling a little with a couple of these where the main object I wanted in focus isn’t - and I’ve been trying to decide if that detracts from them as a final result. The skull grave (an intended nod to my interwebs friend Dianne) isn’t in focus - yet the ivy behind it is - and once I start looking at the ivy I kind of get sucked into the textures and reflections of light… and almost forget the grave stone is there. Not my intention… but I think I like it. What do you think?

I’ve totally forgotten the name of the dog statue - I’ll have to look it up and update this (at some point ha) but I loved it!

Edit: I looked it up and its Bum the dog. Bum!! How could I forget that?! Anyway, Bum the St Bernard Spaniel cross is from San Diego and San Diego is a twin city of Edinburgh apparently.

Some photos... finally!

I’ve been feeling quite wordy, so thank you for indulging me in my last few posts. I’m still surprised that I had so much to say about the death of my second Grandad to die - but it felt right to share it. So I’m glad I did.

Anyway, I didn’t take that many photos in 2018, which I am sad about - but the ones I did take, I’m pretty thrilled with! Look at all these lovely details. Swoon!

Do you have a film photography aim this year? My aim for 2019 is 1 roll of film a month - that seems achievable I think. I’m already most of the way through one roll of film in a camera I received as part of the Emulsive Secret Santa this year.
