Photography & General Ramblings…
That’s right, Freelance Wastrel is two years old today!
The last year has seen me write 195 posts containing 172 images
I’ve posted images from 10 digital cameras, 21 film cameras and 31 different film stocks.
Thanks to you all for reading, following and putting up with my ramblings.
Stone face, Arundel Cathedral
Fujifilm X-T2, Fujinon XF 18-135mm f3.5~5.6 R LM OIS WR at 24mm, 1/210s, f2, ISO 200
Purveyors of High Class Meat
Olympus OM-2 Spot/Program, F-Zuiko Auto-S 50mm f/1.8 – 1/125s, f8 – Ilford HP5 Plus rated at ISO 640
A fantastic ‘ghost’ sign, spotted in Belper, Derbyshire in January this year… Although now a kitchen and bathroom showroom I do vaguely remember this building being a butcher’s shop.
Another image from the first roll of film through my Olympus OM-2 Spot/Program.

TO CAR PARK
Fujifilm X-T2, Fujinon XF 18-135mm f3.5~5.6 R LM OIS WR at 39mm, 1/220s, f14, ISO 200
I love finding these old, faded road signs… This one in Arundel, West Sussex is screwed to the castle wall and still (vaguely) points the way to the car park.
I don’t know how old this sign is but it predates the current style of signage on British roads which came into use in the mid 1960s following a review by the Worboys Committee.
Security shadow
Fujifilm X-T2, Fujinon XF 18-135mm f3.5~5.6 R LM OIS WR at 29mm, 1/300s, f8, ISO 200
‘You know what always amazed me? That none of the beautiful women I’ve photographed ever thought they were beautiful. Ava (Gardner) didn’t. Marilyn (Monroe) didn’t. Michelle Pfeiffer doesn’t. Such a waste.’
Terry O’Neill (English photographer) – July 30, 1938 (age 81).
Pedestrian Zone
Nikon F-301, Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AI-S, 1/60s, f2.8, Kodak T-Max P3200
Another of the four shots taken during a short walk through Derby to The Brunswick Inn in January…

Serrurerie Sécurité
Nikon FE2, Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AI-S – 1/125s, f8, – Kodak Colorplus 200 rated at ISO 100
Another wonderful old business premises in central France, photographed between beer breaks at pavement cafés during a wander around Cosne-sur-Loire in August last year. This ‘Locksmith Security’ specialist had long since moved on…
I really could spend hours just wandering around and photographing things like this.

‘The work I care about is terribly simple. I observe, I try to entertain, but above all, I want pictures that are emotional.’
Elliott Erwitt (American advertising and documentary photographer) – July 26, 1928 (age 91).
Singer
Nikon D300, Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 EX DG APO Macro HSM at 95mm, 1/250s, f2.8, ISO 1600
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Ten years ago it was local rock band Fat Stan, strutting their stuff in the Crossed Pistons Saloon at the Rock and Blues Custom Show in Derbyshire.
I don’t think I’ve ever had such good access to a stage as I did here, not only that but I’d got two massive bikers keeping a watchful eye on my gear!
Fat Stan, July 2009
Nikon D300, AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR at 31mm, 1/250s, f6.3, ISO 1600
Drummer
Nikon D300, Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM at 17mm, 1/30s, f5.3, ISO 1600
