Get Rich
In a sorry attempt to make some money from this photography thing, I've put a load of Photographs up for sale on that there 'Etsy'. Prints start at £3, so why not treat yourself? And it's my birthday coming too, so, you know...just give me some money already. Next I will be taking photographs of children playing, flowers in the spring, and vineyards. I'll make them into Canvases, and will look just terrible on your wall. Enjoy!

Epilogue Pt.II
This post contains what will most likely be the last image from my time in Stockport, and therefore it seemed quite fitting that it is taken behind the Tesco Express I would visit on a regular basis. I have been building up a collection of film from my first few weeks in Yorkshire, now I just need some money to process them, but shouldn't be too far away. In the meantime, I've changed the colour scheme of this blog to make those colour casts even more evident! It may be enough to make me switch back to monochrome, who knows.
The Stockport Project
A lot can change in a relatively short space of time. When I last updated this blog, I was sat in the front room of our ground floor flat in Stockport, overlooking the Heaton Chapel train station, trying to make the most of my time before going back to my job making God-awful Canvases and Acrylic Panels - things the Photographic Industry shits out. As I write this, I'm sat in my office in our Terraced cottage, somewhere between Bradford and Halifax, stopping now and again to look out of the window and see what the horse is up to in the field. Usually he's eating grass. I had been looking for a job, and felt I should put photography to the back of my mind whilst I did so, and therefore I have recently produced very little. However, as of this week I am a 'Trainee Barista', and I can relax and enjoy photography again. Having said that, I have no money to buy or process film, but I do have some unfinished work from before the move, which I will be posting here in due time.
For a post in which I wanted to attract attention to someone else's work, this is pretty self-centered, so I'll get to the point. My past colleague and good friend Nathan has been uploading images from his wanders through Stockport to his new blog, The Stockport Project, unedited and unfiltered. There's some proper gems in there, so I recommended having a good scroll through. You will enjoy it.
Wastelands' Return
Some time ago I was concentrating solely on this project, but I started thinking too big, whilst at the same time falling into a rut when taking the photographs. It turned into a huge project in my mind, making what I had actually produced seem less and less significant. The result was that I became disillusioned with the whole thing and all but stopped working towards it. However, on a recent outing, the things I was pointing my camera at turned out to be perfect for it, and it subsequently became a thinking point again, this time with a much simpler and more encompassing idea. So, let's see how long that lasts.
