I’m building up quite a backlog of black & white film developing at the moment… so here’s a pic from March 2024!

Another image from Expired Film Day 2025.

Aspire, designed by Ken Shuttleworth is a 200ft tall steel sculpture on the Jubilee Campus of the University of Nottingham and was, until overtaken by Anish Kapoor’s Orbit, the tallest free standing public work of art in the United Kingdom.

Definitely one of those occasions when I wish I’d packed a shorter focal length lens than 50mm!

Some more of Beeston’s street art, photographed on Expired Film Day but this time on film only 12 years out of date!

This is just a small part of mural by that adorns The Quadrant, a multi-purpose venue next to Beeston Library. It was painted by Anna Wheelhouse and unveiled in May 2023.
