I spotted this man working in a market white-goods stall, and liked the way it looked like he was barricaded in.

Two men with shopping trolleys
I was going for a Garry Winogrand feel with this shot, although I’ve probably fallen far short. It’s not too bad a picture though – I like the symmetry in the two main figures and also the two men with Christmas jumpers who’ve snuck into the shot.

The other way down the arcade
I posted a photo of a shopping arcade a few days ago (the 8th December). Well, here’s the same location from a different vantage point.

Time, reflected
I’m not sure if the out-of-focus cobbles help or hinder this.

Sometimes your subject is on the floor right in front of you.

Not a Space Invaders machine in sight!

Did I take that?
Sometimes, you get the negatives back and you think, “did I really take that?” – hopefully not in a bad way either. I think this is one of those shots. I’m very happy with this one.

From a train window
I took this photo from the train on my way to Hull last week. It was a spur of the moment thing, but I’m very happy with the way it turned out. The camera used was a Canon Sure Shot Telemax – a 35mm compact with a 38-70mm f/3.5 – f/6 zoom lens. The camera has the distinction of being the only film camera in my possession that I’ve owned since new – a gift from my parents back in the early 90s. The camera has been sat in a drawer, largely forgotten, and certainly unused, for at least the better part of twenty years.
The camera actually takes really nice shots, the lens is sharp and produces nice contrasty images. I’m certainly a better photographer now than I was back when this was my only camera, and I reckon I’ve got more good shots from this single roll of HP5+ than I ever got through all the rolls I shot back in the day.
It’s certainly not going to be confined to the drawer any longer, that’s for sure. I think its time has come to show what it’s made of!
