Another pic of the mural by Anna Wheelhouse that adorns The Quadrant, a multi-purpose venue next to Beeston Library… again from Expired Film Day but this time taken on a Balda Baldessa found in a charity shop that very day for the princely sum of £4.00!

Fuji GW 690 Professional, Fuji Photo Film Co EBC Fujinon 90mm f/3.5 – Fujifilm RVP 50 (expired 12/1997)

I’m not sure if Expired Film Day is still a thing… but I still enjoy loading up my cameras with out of date film every March 15!

This image of actor Richard Beckinsale (6/7/1947 – 19/3/79) by the artist Zabou, has only had very slight tweaks to exposure and white balance… 28-year old slide film has no business looking this good!

I’m becoming increasingly interested in street art, it adds some much needed colour and interest to our towns and cities and there are some fantastic examples to be seen in Nottingham and Sheffield, two places I visit regularly.
