35mm, medium format and large format film photography (with the odd bit of digital every now and then…)
I took a number of photos around the flea-market this week using the Yashica Mat 124G. I was hoping for a bit of a Vivian Maier-type result and, while I don’t think I’ve necessarily achieved this, I’m still pretty happy with a lot of the shots I got.
I’m using white borders at the moment which, while looking nice on Flickr, have little impact on this blog given it has a white background anyway. 🙂

A large model human skull for sale at the flea-market today. Apparently it lights up (or so I overheard the stall owner tell another customer). The hat is a nice touch, I feel.

Bedgreave Mill was built in the late 16th century and operated until 1947. It lay unused for the next thirty or so years until it was restored when Rother Valley Country Park (in which it resides) came into being in the early 1980s.

After two of my images got into Flickr Explore just last week, I was a little surprised to see that this one got in there yesterday too. I now fully expect that months will go by without any more images getting in there (unless I start taking pictures of Lego Miniatures figurines 🙂 ).

This art installation of folded cloth lattices resides in the stairwell of Sheffield Central Library. I’m not sure how long it’s been there, but I took more photos of it a couple of years ago. They remind me of clouds when viewed from the side.

Just inside Sheffield cathedral is this wrought-iron tree upon which people place candles.

A trader demonstrates some sort of device to customers at his market stall. I’m not sure of its purpose, but it appears to be a bell of some sort.

Through the shelves a potential customer examines the wares.

Another shot from the flea market. I’d spotted this guy on my initial walk-around and wondered about getting a candid shot, but as I approached the stall I saw another photographer ask him if he could take a portrait. After he’s moved away I decided to fo the same, and the guy was good enough to oblige. Un-noticed by me at the time, the original photographer had walked around the next row of stalls and gave me a direct glance as I took my shot. Two for the price of one. 🙂
