I’ll be posting more photos from this roll in the coming days and, given it’s an expired film, I’ll try to write up a new “Expiriment” post.

For now, here’s a single frame that I shot while visiting Peter Mitchell’s “Nothing Lasts Forever” exhibition at Leeds Art Gallery last autumn.

Something good that happened today…

My eldest son came to visit after he’d been to get his hair cut. We all ate pasta and had a good catch up.

Nothing Lasts Forever

I visited Leeds Art Gallery today to see Nothing Lasts Forever, a retrospective of the photographer Peter Mitchell’s work.

I had just intended to view the photographs, but was pleasantly surprised when it turned out that, not only was Peter Mitchell there in person today, but that there was also space on the walking tour of the exhibition given by Peter himself. I was also able to get my copy of his book, A New Refutation of the Viking 4 Space Mission, signed. 🙂

The exhibition is well worth seeing but I only just got there in time. Although I’ found out about the exhibition a few months ago when I visited this year’s Photo North event, I had completely forgotten about it and it was only by chance when I saw someone talk about it on YouTube that I remembered. Just in the nick of time too as it finishes tomorrow!

I made a few photos of Peter as he told us about the work, what had inspired it, and the things it had involved. It was a very worthwhile visit.
