Two projectors were used to illuminate the west front of the Minster, creating a design called the ‘Heart of Yorkshire’, part of a project to ‘breathe new life into the city centre in ways that are both sympathetic to our treasured heritage and reflective of leading-edge contemporary art’ (according to a member of the City of York Council at the time).

Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 9 mins at 20°c.
‘The Trade Federation arrive at Roker’ is a slightly obscure Star Wars reference but it was the first thing I thought when this scene presented itself…

Slide Film Sunday… Pont de l’Archevêché, Octobre 2000
Pont de l’Archevêché, Octobre 2000
An image from September 2000 for today’s ‘Slide Film Sunday’
My first visit to Paris (on honeymoon no less) was when I started to make a conscious effort to include people in my images, the couple chatting on the river bank really making this image for me…

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
14 years ago I was snapping away on a walk through Wensleydale (‘cracking cheese Gromit!’)
This image proves that it’s worth turning around to look where you’ve been from time to time… this clump of trees in Wensley Park was only lit like this for a few seconds!

Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.
An image from a stroll along the Trent & Mersey Canal with my partner in (photographic) crime Rachel back in August.
I liked the contrast between the harsh lines of the electricity pylons and the softer lines of the reeds and their reflection…

Slide Film Sunday… Little Ruddington
Little Ruddington, September 1999
An image from September 1999 for today’s ‘Slide Film Sunday’
And an image that made me chuckle when I spotted it whilst looking for something else entirely!
‘Little Ruddington’ is a station on the miniature railway at what was then the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre (now the Nottingham Heritage Railway) and I just liked the combination of sign and scaled down London & North Eastern Railway class A2 4-6-2 steam locomotive 60532 ‘BLUE PETER’ (7.25 inch gauge I think).
