How many exposures?

The top one is strange. 

How many people do you count in it?

OLD black and whites.

I dug out a load of undeveloped negatives from my art foundation, these are probably from the my first ever go with an analogue SLR camera.  Taken in Bath probably some time around December 2007.

made.

This is the final for my latest project the brief was to create a range based around the word heritage.  I ended up going off on a tangent basing the project around vintage black and white photography, and classic menswear.  I wanted to keep it as simple and minimal as possible, the sole is lazer cut and the design is taken from photographs of old Leica lenses.  Im pretty pleased with how its turned out although there are a few niggles with the quality of the making I was just glad that the project is over.
Handed in on tuesday, but was swiftly followed by a massive crises which i will make a separate post about sooon.

So, what do you do on a Monday afternoon in September with a friend, a car, a few rolls of film, 4 analogue cameras and the AA road atlas?  A good, if slightly specific question.  Ultimately we ended up taking a rather convoluted drive to the other side of Cheltenham via Gloucester and the wrong bit of the M5 (this involved a fair bit of swearing, consulting of the road map and a shit load of traffic lights) to visit an abandoned Industrial Research Facility and take pictures of it.  Definitely a productive day.

These are some of the pictures I came out with, if you want to see the rest check my flickr account.

The two little girls in these shots are my cousins kids and where just way too much fun.  I ended up giving them a digital camera each and let them run about taking photos of EVERYTHING!  I'll put their shots up later on following some heavy editing, because when I say they photographed everything, I do mean everything. At least twice! 

Black and white SLR film. take 2. A trip to the beach.

These are a mixture of shots.  Some taken by me on a day trip to Bournemouth with a friend (the one building the sandcastle) the others where taken by my dad at Pawthcawl in wales.  some serious overexposure going on in some of these and I don't understand why some of them appear divided.

Black and white SLR film.

It has taken me a long time to finish this film so it will cover several posts so the pictures are in some kind of sensical order rather that a bit of a schizophrenic mash up.

I put up my digital shots of this burned out Volvo several weeks ago but these are the shots that kicked of the film, I'm overly impressed with how atmospheric they are, and they look old and again a bit light leaky....but I think I'm going to have to learn to live with this from the AX5 I'm liking it a lot. 

Analogue again Leica M3 - Toms Photos

These were taken the same day I took out the Fujica AX-5 for its first run,

 I lent my granddads Leica M3 to one of my oldest friends just to use up what was 

left of a 400 black and white film I started back in January and we

 hit up a bit of the cotswold countryside on a gorgeous day in the easter holidays

I might add Tom's a bit of a camera-phile, and he takes better and more consistent

pictures than I do he has been a little obsessed with analogue photography for over a 

year now and it shows

I love his shots
