Single frame… Photo Kodak Cine

I started my return to film photography in 2016 and was even worse at making notes then than I am now… as a result I’m not even sure which camera this image was shot on… I ‘think’ it was an Olympus XA that I’d received as part of the Emulsive ‘Secret Santa’ a few weeks previously but I’m not 100% sure!

This empty shop is in Donzy, a commune in the Nièvre department in central France, I don’t know how long it’s been vacant for but retail properties don’t seem to sell quickly in rural France so it may have been empty for years. I’d love to have seen it (and shopped there) when it was still in business…

One of my projects for 2018 is to become more comfortable with street photography, a genre I’ve never had much success with (one of many if truth be told…)

This is one of my recent attempts, taken in the Millennium Gallery in Sheffield during a trip to view the exhibition of images from last year’s Photo Marathon Sheffield.

With hindsight a camera with a waist-level viewfinder might be a better bet for future attempts… less obvious than holding an SLR to the eye.
