I’ve spent a few days this week travelling to various locations in the north of England to meet buskers for a story I’m working on. Despite the rain I’ve managed to photograph some pretty diverse performers in Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester and Stockport, and I’m heading to Merseyside tomorrow, weather permitting. For the first time I’m shooting a commissioned work assignment on film, as a challenge for myself really and to try to force myself to think more and slow down. I’m using my Bronica and am relieved that the replacement back I’ve been given by the guy I bought it from seems to have done the trick and stopped the light leaks. It’s been a little hairy waiting for the first few films back but I thought I’d take the risk. I’m enjoying the process of using film very much but waiting for the processed negatives is a chore for someone as impatient as me…
