First batch of 35mm from my trip to paris in june. Should have uploaded these ages ago but I'm useless; need to set some kind of reminder to do this every sunday. Shot these on my Canon SLR, all using poundland film because as well as useless i am cheap. Paris in the summer was mental compared to the winter, I think we walked about 20km every day, drank by the river, cycled to père lachaise on vélos, drank absinthe in montemartre and watched the city at night from the steps of the sacré cœur, le tour eiffel brillait We ate stupidly good sushi, lebanese food, savoury crêpes and italian food in marché des enfants rouge – i had arancini, which is like risotto balls – delizioso. 

UPDATE

charlie & lucy's apartment from ground level.

There wasn't as many images on the point and shoot as I originally imagined, didn't help that the boots machine did some more '2 halves of 2 different negatives on one print' thing. but otherwise, thats it for Paris this year, unless we go again in November or something.

I got the last of my pictures from Paris on the Canon T50 developed, leaving us with the final update to the paris series (and an update I forgot entirely about to be honest). These photos are from our final afternoon in paris before we got the eurostar home, we walked past the glass windows of the louvre, through the jardin des tuileries to the champs-élysées, stopping off at a funfair on the way. we look like something out of the end of grease, but less greasy.

get lost

Wanted to do a series, so went for a walk in the woods next to my house and found a bunch of buildings. Unfortunately, my camera ran out of battery at the end of the roll (which it has never done the whole time I have owned it) so the film wouldn't roll back and half of the pictures I had taken got fucked sprockets and ruined by light leak coz I opened the back, WHICH MAJORLY BUMMED ME OUT, however, the babes at boots sorted me out and developed the images for me for free. So, while this is not the entire collection, you'll just have to appreciate half.

All images taken on my 35mm Canon SLR.

the night michael came to tea

absolute babe on high, michael 'jwoww' williams, finally returned to Canterbury for one wild weekend. We partied hardy, drank beers then went for a full english the next day coz beanos is the bomb. Then we got the train home and shed a little tear when we parted ways at St.Panc. A man with the skill to look both like an angel and a donkey.

blurred lines

After getting my first colour roll developed from my point and shoot, I realised that without the flash the shutter speed was too slow, (maybe broken, as I received the camera second hand) leading to blurred and double exposure images. This led to the images above where we see some blurry yung sons in Hoxton, a ghostlike Lewbus at St. Pancras and a greenfaced fire breating Tom in Canterbury. SPOOOOOOOOOKY!

experimenting in black and white

 

RIP KITTY SLIM

Found an old b&w roll from my college photography days so decided to use it in my point and shoot for a night out in Canterbury and our girl's trip to Cardiff. Sadly, although predictably, a bunch of the photos I took at night didn't come out, so lesson learned there. My fave is the roof shot,
the gradient of white into grey and black looks good, so, gonna do some more of that light. The final image is of my friends' cat, Cat Boy Slim - who was later renamed Catlin Jenner after the initial 'sexing' of the cat was understood to be incorrect- a few weeks before her untimely passing. RIP KITTY SLIM, forever in our hearts. xoxo
