Shave my beard and call me normal… A sunny day! I don’t have a beard and am probably not normal anyway – cue Bud (Harry Dean Stanton) in Repo man Look at ‘em, ordinary fucking people, I hate ‘em.
Hunkered down here under the wharf lapping up the reflections as the tide raced in. I made the mistake of standing up and clocked myself with the zillion tons of concrete slabbed above me. Saw stars, staggered, and fell to earth screaming c*nts like the drama queen I am. It fucking hurt! But you must soldier on – I would have drowned if I’d stayed. That is two strikes on my anatomy now to this part of the peninsular but at least I didn’t fall onto the rocks this time, just got a bit slimed in the mud.
This wasn’t quite what I whacked my head on but it is close and amazingly the structure is still intact, so I thought I’d snap it again before it is dynamited. Any moment now.
The two little black marks top rightish are not crud from my processing as I first thought. A 100% crop reveals a plane and a bird. Since the plane is probably flying at 10kms altitude I was quite impressed that the Fujinon lens picked it up.
Luvvin’ the grain at 100%. Tis what it is all about in my less than humble opinion.
I was generally less than pleased with today’s photos. I should have used a slower film in this light, FP4+ perhaps at ISO 100 or 80. The results would have been richer.The HP5+ is pulled to ISO 200 but before I left the flat I couldn’t believe it really was as bright as it was.
I’m trying to get the definitive shot of this lump of barbed wire. I’ve poked around it with the digi trying to get it right but I think I need to keep trying.
I’m getting it to look more ‘human’ tho…
Finally some steps, because… because I can.
Possibly the most slippery steps on the Thames. They are lethal and for some reason surrounded by discarded condoms. It is definitely worth staying upright here.
