In These Shoes?

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
16 years ago it was this strappy high-heeled shoe… why? I cannot for the life of me remember!

Minolta Dynax 800si, Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD at 35mm, 1/250s, f11 – Ilford Delta 400 Professional
Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.
Darlington’s Brick Train was created by David Mach in 1997 to celebrate the town’s railway heritage, and is modelled on the steam locomotive Mallard, which set a UK rail speed record of 126 miles per hour in 1938. The locomotive is depicted as if just having exited a tunnel, with the billowing smoke typical of such an exit.
The Minolta Dynax 800si is a chunky beast (especially with the Tamron SP lens attached) but I love using it and really don’t mind carrying it around…

I’ve had a couple of days filing negatives and it’s prompted me to look back at a few older images…
I’ve photographed the Brutalist architecture of Park Hill in Sheffield a few times and no doubt will do so again, the flats really do dominate the Sheffield skyline!
