Winter 2022

- Kodak ColorPlus 200 colour film
A view over stubbly, snowy fields, dark woods, and utility poles of a pale sky. The sun burns partially through a dark cloud. Frosty branches against a pale, warm sky and bright blue snow. A blackbird crouches, facing the viewer, in the shallow snow under a hedge. There is an orange traffic cone upturned behind it. A fuzzy photo over a snow-covered field. Dark woods cover the left side of the photo, and a telephone wire cuts through the wide, pale sky. Two birds are vaguely visible flying iin the distance. An empty junction adorned with road furniture and surrounded by flat, white fields. Black tarmac is visible under the snow. The traffic lights are red. A view over a fence onto a railway, taken from the shade under some frosty trees. The snowy railway is brightly lit by the sun, under a clear blue sky. A dark, moody photo of a railway, taken from a bridge over it, at dusk. The ground is nearly lost in silhouette. The sky is a soft pink and purple gradient. A view down a city road bridge. Next to the bridge is a narrow road blocked by a bollard, descending into the shade and then ascending in the distance. The road bridge remains level and, in the background, is lit by the sun.

Autumn 2022

- Kodak ColorPlus 200 colour film
An underexposed photo half taken up by a solid block of conifer. A pair of woodpigeons sit together on a telephone wire. A view from the bank over a peaceful river running through flat, tree-lined fields. Some boats are moored to the opposite bank. There is a warm blur over part of the shot. An orange and yellow railcar sits in a station which is mostly obscured by someone standing just out of shot. A dull grey train sits on the other side. A view down a sunny station platform of stationary trains on the tracks. One of the tracks is fenced off. Overton Station, from the tracks. The building and trees behind it are lit by the sun against a clear sky, but the platform, the tracks, and a train on the other side are in cool shadow. The end of a rusted train car. The ladder onto the car has a 'no admittance' sign on it; the top step is covered in little plants. A crouching view of a train's undercarriage. The sun streams through from the other side. Looking down the tracks towards a road crossing. A stop sign in the foreground lists instructions to train drivers. The sun, streaming between trees, makes the sky glow white.

Summer 2022

- Ilford FP4 Plus black & white film
an empty chair at a table with a bowl. the glowing shape of light from a window can be seen on the wall and chair. specks of light dance across the walls. the camera focuses on distant roofs under a white sky. in the foreground, blurred gravestones are visible in tall grass. the frame is fringed by unfocused leaves. an overgrown gravestone in the woods partly hidden by ivy and tall grass. the legible text reads 'in loving memory - dead husband' and cuts off. a shot of dark, ivy covered trees. further down, two small chapel rooms with a spire between them. a woodpigeon sits on the roof of a house surrounded by chimneys and spires, against a white sky. dark trees let specks of light through. in the middle, a robin sits on a telephone wire, singing with its head tipped back. a herring gull flies over the sea's waves, under a white sky. a herring gull against a dark sky, soaring over the sea. another herring gull follows it, barely visible against the sea.
