Provincetown Harbour

We had gotten up early to drive the 6a to Provincetown to go whale watching.
These are the cute huts that line up along the harbour, some are selling paintings, some tickets for the boats.

Freedom Tower

We'd gotten off the bus at World Trade Centre stop. Already had our entry passes to the 9/11 Memorial so we walked on and were confronted by the looming spectacle of the nearly completed Freedom Tower. Tha stars and stripes were fluttering from a nearby building.
A jet airliner flew past and that was such a strange moment.

Travelling Fair, Gt Yarmouth

It comes every year on the same weekend as the Grand National - it was one of the highlights of the year growing up in Great Yarmouth.
Happened to be in Great Yarmouth last weekend and took the opportunity to wander with the Polaroid 420 Automatic Land Camera and the Holga 120FN.
Lots of bright artwork to draw the eye, the seagull completed the scene.

Three Random Images

These have absolutely nothing in common save for the fact they were all shot using the Polaroid 103 and Fuji 100c peel apart film.
The Album playing on the Rega is Erpland by Ozric Tentacles...if you are interested...the phone boxes are at Hopwood Park Services on the M42 South of Birmingham and the Alloy Wheel Garage is in Great Yarmouth.

More from the "Home town"

Another weekend....another trip to Great Yarmouth.....Found a new model to photograph although she hardly stopped giggling...I wanted her to look m"Mournfully into the distance".....

Saw the heads in a little shop in the town centre, hand held the Polaroid 103 and very pleased with the odd result.

Salford Quays, Manchester

First of a number of images made whilst wandering around the wonderful Salford Quays. It's where Media City is rising up like a phoenix. They are even building a new coronation street there.
A great Birthday weekend.

Buddies USA

Can't wait to get to the States to see and photograph some American Diners (proper).
A good reason to keep a camera with you at all times, suddenly you see trends emerging, being drawn to particular subjects.

Roadside Diners

Another emerging project, alongside seaside towns and the Fens is roadside diners and cafes. Unlike the USA we don't seem to be blessed with lots of small independent diners, some copies like the OK Diners on the A1 and some "Buddies" American Diners you can find.
Back to the Fuji 100c for these photos shot on Polaroid 103 Automatic Land Camera.

 I had two Polaroid Automatic Land Cameras with me, one loaded with Fuji 100c silk which is a colour film and the other with the equally good Fuji 3000b black and white film.
These two images were made using the 100c and my 420 land camera. The fuji 100c colour film can give beautiful muted colours or deeply saturated ones depending on the lighting and settings on your camera. It's worth experimenting.
Polaroid no longer make this type of "crack and peel apart" film so long love the Fuji brand.

Les Mosses, Switzerland

Just returned from a skiing holiday in Switzerland - no digital cameras for me oh no. Polaroid 420 Automatic Land Camera loaded with Fuji 100c instant, peel apart film all the way. The accordian player was overjoyed when I gave him an instant image straight from the camera.
The disco (photgraph above) was in readiness for the New Year celebration in Les Mosses.
