I love photographing people, but sometimes the world looks fine without them. These photos are from the part-roll of film that I took with me that Sunday morning two weeks ago. Next time I’ll take a tripod and a multipack of 100ASA. Click on any one of the thumbnails below to see an larger version.
I took all of them with one of my Minolta 7 cameras and a second-hand Sigma 24mm f/2.8 lens that I bought from the visually impaired sales assistant. As usual the images are straight off the scanner. It’s made for shooting humans, but the muted colours of Fuji PRO400H strike me as a refreshing change from the supersaturated slide film (or Photoshopped hues) fashionable for taking shots of non-human subjects.
If you’d like to see images of buildings made by someone who knows his way around them you can visit the homepage of Tim Pike, the architectural photographer I bumped into on the beach that day.
You have a very good “eye”.
Thank you.

Is there much of a tourist trade that you could sell a Brighton calendar to?
There’s a huge tourist trade, but I’ve seen much better photos of Brighton than mine; I’ve also seen worse. As the (very successful but very bored) landscape photographer I bought one of my cameras from explained to me, selling photo postcards and calendars is as much about marketing as it is about talent.
[…] It’s special effects time again on PooterGeek. I’ve replaced the code that displays pictures here, the ingenious, but awkward thickbox, with the even more ingenious iBox. Test it out by visiting a recent photography post: dawn over Brighton, Café Intenso, or the humanist naming ceremony. […]
