Lost Film & Polling Stations. 27th October.

I took this photo back in April when I was in London for a friend's birthday. A couple of weeks ago I found the roll of film containing this photograph on a shelf... so I finally got it developed today! I'm a little annoyed that I waited so long to get it developed as the photos have, but I'm still happy that I've found a whole load of lost photographs. 

I'm scanning in a few rolls that I got developed today, so the scans may be uploaded sometime soon.. either on here, my website, or facebook (look below for links). 

It was voting day in my little town on Thursday, this small parish hall was garbed in "Polling Station" signs, definitely thought it was worth a photograph!

I'm off to London tomorrow to start at Rankin on Monday, quite excited.. I aim to blog daily if everything goes to plan.

Police Cars and Film Scans. 9th October.

Today's photo-a-day ^ ^ ^: a picture hanging in my house which I thought was a little bit interesting.

Most of today has consisted of Negative Scanning, these photos are from my early days of shooting film... they're definitely not the worst of my early-days photos, I cringe looking at the over exposed, out of focus, chemically-stained negatives, these were some of my successful ones:

Les Paul Epiphone (Mamiya RZ-67)

East Finchley Tube (Centon K-100)

Positive Negatives, a brand new scanner. 8th October.

I have FINALLY bought myself a decent scanner so I can now start the massive job which is scanning in my hundreds of negatives. I have a collection of Negatives from the past 2 years, some of which I don't even remember creating, it will be a journey of discovery as I haven't printed the majority of these beyond small contact sheets... I am quite excited and I shall share any beauties I find along the way... 

Here are 2 photographs from the Unison strikes in November 2011 (taken with a Bronica SQ-Ai):
