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!

A trio of brass bottles, modelled on the famous Henderson’s Relish (Hendo’s) bottle, adorning a seating area in Leavygreave Road, Sheffield, a few yards away from the former Henderson’s Relish factory. The seating areas and ‘planter tables’ were designed by local artist David Appleyard.
A happy reminder of a wander around my favourite city on an utterly glorious day in June 2019.
If there is a finer condiment to splash on a meal I’ve yet to taste it!

Yashica FX-D Quartz, Yashica ML 35mm f/2.8 – Agfa Vista Plus 200
Another sheet of forgotten negatives turned up this week, funnily enough at the same time I decided to give the camera they were shot on another outing.
The Yashica FX-D Quartz is a close relative of the Contax 139 and shares its lens mount, enabling the use of Contax’s superb Carl Zeiss optics but this entire roll of film was shot with the excellent Yashica ML 35mm f/2.8 lens.
This piece of street art (and the building it adorned) are no more, another disused factory knocked down… ‘Eyecatching’ was collaboration between Sheffield artists Rocket 01 and Faunagraphic and other examples of their work are still visible around the city.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Three years ago it was the Derbyshire spa town of Buxton, during a visit with my friend/partner in crime Rachel, who at that point had yet to take up photography…
A repeat visit to Buxton is on the cards now that she has!
Throwback Thursday… Light Night in Nottingham

Fujifilm X-E1, Fujinon XF 18-55mm f2.8~4 R LM OIS at 46mm, 1/30s, f4, ISO 1600
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Five years ago it was ‘Light Night‘ in Nottingham, a ‘night of eclectic and electric light installations’ that kicked off (for me at least) with a few pints in the Pitcher and Piano (where the ‘Hanging Helmet’ caught my eye).
