Ah the Spring Equinox is here. No, I've not suddenly converted to pagansim, although it's somewhere in my roots. It's my time to come out of hibernation and start to take pictures again. I often wonder why I make things so hard for myself.
I love making photographs in the sun. In London. Yes London.
I like working during the week. The West End at the weekend just doesn't have that mix of people and purpose I love.
Oh yes and I love film. 35mm, 36 frames.
Let's do the maths.
Optimal light, Spring to Autumn Equinox, 26 weeks. Tops.
5 days a week. Not sunny every day. Call it 1 day a week. Average. It's London remember?
1 roll of film a day. Sometimes more. Sometimes less. It's expensive.
Makes 936 pictures by my reckoning.
Total.
For the year.
Now we can begin.
5% of those 936 are worth looking at a second time.
Half of those 46 a 3rd look.
Of those, 5 (6 if I'm lucky) might have something about them. Not always obvious but just enough.
So you can see why I'm excited. The new year is now.
Can't wait to see what it brings me.
Busy Sean Time.
