An artist begins work on their picture while stood just in front of the National Gallery in London (which is offf to the right in this viewpoint).

I went out today and shot the remaining frames on a roll of HP5+ that has been in my Olympus Trip 35 for a while. I’m not sure if this was a good idea given I have a cold at the moment (although the general concensus is that light to moderate exercise can be beneficial as long as it isn’t a chest infection – which I don’t think mine is. At this stage at least). Whatever the case, I shot the ten-or-so remaining images and can now get the roll developed sometime this week. I’m getting close to running out of fresh images for the blog and, even though I have loads of unpublished stuff from older rolls I can use, I always feel the compulsion to keep the fresh stuff coming. Hopefully this 36exposure roll will keep the lights on for a while. 🙂
