My 2024 creative review - a thread.

January began with photography! NYE trichromes on film. Photographs for the Ambiguous zine. And art inspired by the trip to Japan.

Surprisingly the Blue Holga TLR held up nicely into the sun for this contre jour portrait down on Brighton promenade at the weekend.

Quite pleased with this one, might make the entry selection

#HolgaWeek #filmphotography

A high-contrast, grainy black and white photograph shows a person seated alone on a wooden bench, facing away from the camera and looking out towards the sea. The person is wearing headphones and a jacket. The bench casts a strong, long shadow towards the camera, emphasizing the bright sun and dramatic sky with scattered clouds. A metal railing separates the person from the water, which appears slightly blurry. The overall feeling is one of solitude and contemplation.

Another keeper from #holgaweek walk at Brighton with a great bunch of Holga lovers

#photography #filmphotography

A high-grain, black and white photograph captures the ruins of the West Pier in Brighton, England, silhouetted against a vast, cloudy sky and the churning sea. The pier's skeletal, burnt-out dome and fragmented supports jut out from the water in the middle distance. In the foreground, the shingle beach slopes down, with a single, small, dark figure standing near the water's edge on the lower right, adding a sense of scale and solitude to the dramatic, textured scene. The photograph evokes a somber, atmospheric mood.
