Box Cameras, ghosts and zines

So it a month since I posted and I said I was going to post more often, well that hasn't worked.

I wouldn't mind if I haven't been up to anything but I have, I've been out near enough weekend shooting something, two weekends shooting ghost signs and one on a photowalk with londoncamerproject.

I think the biggest issue, is actually shooting film.  I presently have 3 cameras all with various degrees of film partly used in them and as that mean I have nothing to show, and with this being a photography blog images are a big part of it.

I managed to finish one roll from the box camera and again instead of 8 shots I only got 7 and from the 7 only 2 were any good, as again I keep forgetting to adjust the lens distance scale but as its a year long project I might remember to change it by the end of the year.

As you can see from the second image I forget to change the focus, which is annoying as I think this would of been a good image.

The ghost signs project is coming along really well and so far I have around 35 images, which is more than enough for a zine but every time, I go out I find new favourites and want to add them to it, at this rate the zine could end up being over 100 pages. I will need to trim this down, as I was only think of about 28 pages or maybe I will have to produce a volume II.

I haven't posted any thing from the ghost signs (other than the one image in the previous post) as I want to keep them fresh and hopefully if the zine works out, people will only see them for the first time there.
