Reg was 25 when he died in 1893

When I was a boy Reg still had a head, I wonder what happened to it?
I had forgotten how peaceful this old cemetery was, I even found some relatives from 1823.
I have stocked up on Polaroid Blue film for our New York trip.

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.

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.

 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.

Great Yarmouth with the Polaroid 103

An overnight trip to Great Yarmouth on a cold January evening.
Before driving home on the Saturday I walked along the seafront with the 103 Automatic Land Camera and the 420 Automatic Land Camera. The 103 was loaded with Fuji 3000b and the 420 with Fuji 100c silk.

Seaside towns out of season look drab, deglected, unloved and expectant.....what great places to look to "see what things look like photographed".

Now, I have shot many rolls of traditional film in GY over the years, and many other seaside towns come to that but since I got hooked on instant photography my desire to record my home town and the Fenlands where I have lived for 11 years has been rekindled with a passion.

So, to kick off here are three observations from this cold January trip.
