As I still haven’t written my camera review post yet (although I do have a cheesy title for it!) I thought I’d dip into the archives and pull out a photo that never got published before. This one was taken last May when I travelled to New York City with my wife and our two youngest boys.
I’ve been looking back through these pictures – taken when the Covid-19 pandemic would have likely seemed an impossibility to most people but, yet, a year later and look how the world changed! – because I’m taking part in a zine swap with some folks from a forum I’m a member of. I’ve never made a zine before and time was ticking on, so I decided to choose a bunch of street-shots for my first publication. I have everything set up and now just need to finalise a few bits beore clicking the button to get them printed. I’m probably going to end up with far more than I need for the zine swap, so might have some to swap with others too.
While zoomed-in, spotting the photo for dust before uploading it, it was fun to notice a guy stood atop the scaffolding at the lower left of the shot. Photos are so often full of little details such as this. Unspotted at the time of making the picture, and even overlooked on initial viewing, but there waiting to be found when you spend the time.

I’ve never made a zine either. However, I have been considering trying to put one together of late if I can find an affordable way to do so. I’m not in your part of the world, so depending on how you set yours up for distribution I’m aware it may not be possible to get ahold of it. That said, I’d still love to see the compilation of photos you put together, and I’m sure many others who follow you but don’t live in the U.K. would also, so I do hope you’ll share it on your blog once you’ve got it together.

I’m planning on using Mixam to print it and I think they provide an online flick-through that I might be able to share when I go through with it. I’m thinking of making some tweaks to the covers first though.
