Developed in Ilford DD-X at 1:4, 9 mins at 20°c.

I’ve not felt like blogging much of late… or photography… or pretty much anything else really but as we approach the end of the year I’m doing my best to motivate myself to get out and about more.

Spending just a bit of time outdoors with a camera does wonders for my mental wellbeing, I just need a push to get me going again…

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

20 years ago (20? Yikes!) it was the City of Coventry during a flying visit en route to Stratford-upon-Avon.

‘Father Forgive’ was inscribed on the wall of the high altar of St Michael’s Cathedral in Coventry as per the wishes of Provost Richard Howard following the Coventry Blitz on 14 November 1940.

I can’t remember exactly where I spotted this graffiti but judging by the EXIF data it can’t have been more than a few yards from the Cathedral…

Earlier this year I celebrated my birthday with a delicious pub lunch and a couple of pints of ale at The George Hotel at Youlgreave in the Peak District and a stroll around All Saints Churchyard with a camera… not everyone’s idea of a good time perhaps, but it suited me perfectly!

I haven’t used my Ondu 6×6 Pocket Pinhole camera in a while but seeing this pic from 2021 has prompted me to load up a roll of Kentmere Pan 100 and give it an airing…

Another image from Chesterfield, these gravestones have been ‘tidied’ to the western end of the churchyard…

Chesterfield’s famous Crooked Spire, photographed during the town’s 1940s market a couple of weeks ago.

I wasn’t sure how this roll would turn out… the camera, a Seagull twin-lens reflex, had been playing up during the previous roll.
