I spent the last week in Iceland, one of the most incredibly beautiful and strange places I have ever been to. If you can go, go.

Brighton Sunset
The West Pier looking skeletal, the mist made everything look pretty incredible as well.
Switzerland

Old rolls
I got a couple of old rolls of film developed last week, included a few shots I took in the Peak District last winter…
Photo #3
Iron bridge, Leeds.
On my last weekend in Leeds I walked from where I lived in Horsforth into the city centre, along the canal. In that 5 (ish) mile walk you get such a good sense of the industrial history of the city. There’s Victorian iron- and stone- work everywhere and in places you can’t imagine things have changed a huge amount in the last 150-years.
Photo #2
Flamborough Head (dog-walker and lighthouse). Flamborough Head is where you end up if you head east from Leeds and don’t stop until you run out of England. It’s a really weird place, full of old people wandering around aimlessley or sitting in their cars look at the (inevitable) rain, we clambered down the cliffs onto the beach (which is a complete moonscape) but I like this photo, I think it captures some of the drama vs mundanity of the place.
Photo #1

I used to take a lot of photos, I’ve recently started trawling through that backlog and am going to post a random selection.
This is of the North Bridge in Edinburgh. It was taken in January 2009, it had snowed (a lot) and was (very) cold, I guess the film must have expired (hence the pink tinge) and it’s far from technically perfect (or even ‘good’) but it captures my memory of that trip pretty well.
update in your grate
went to the marathon, which was awesome, although the people that do it are borderline insane/very impressive, it was bloody hot too.
did some more photos for tapes, info here: www.tapes-online.co.uk
am growing so many plants that my house now looks like a greenhouse.
tapes
i took some photos of sam isaac for possible inclusion in tapes 1 (http://tapesblog.wordpress.com). it’ll be interesting to see how they come out, pentax+canal+sam isaac+all the scaffolding in the world=potentially interesting
