Wishing my friends and readers ‘across the pond’ a super and safe July 4th! 🇺🇸
The above sign adorns Dave’s Comics in Brighton, East Sussex, a business occupying two shops on Sydney Street… but if memory serves this sign is actually above the one at No.3!

Another image shot on Kodak Ektachrome E100 last summer…
I’ve photographed this cheeky sign that advertises That Little Tea Shop in the Lanes in Brighton a few times but as yet I’ve not sampled said shop’s menu… I really must pop in for tea and cake at some point!

Single frame… Expired Film Day 2020
Caribbean Spice
Canon EOS 600, EF 50mm f/1.8 II, 1/125s, f4 – O.O.D. Kodacolor 200
Last weekend I managed to shoot a roll of Kodacolor 200 (that went out of date in September 2001!) for Expired Film Day 2020. Using the rule of thumb ‘overexpose one stop for every decade the film is out of date I rated it at EI 50 and the results aren’t bad!
This security shutter caught my eye, it belongs to Caribbean Spice, a restaurant and takeaway on London Road in Sheffield… and I really must try the food there!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Five years ago it was this ramshackle former business premises…
I’ve no idea who ‘E. Parker’ was, or what they did, but I love the building they left behind!
