I have swung into action picking up other threads of work following my gutter exercises and found other shapes and colours that attract me.

I normally have a camera about my person and some days it is a juggle to choose which one on top of or instead of the ever faithful Nikon P6000. Just over a week ago we went to see the Salgado Genesis project followed by a visit to the Guardian. A fellow student and I missed the last pre-rush hour train home so we had 2½ hours to kill before the next available train. What to do? We were spitting distance from Spitalfields and this day I had chosen to take my FE2 loaded with Agfa Vista 200 as an homage to traditional technology. How glad I was as we discovered a wealth of photo opportunities before our eyes.

On developing the film an earlier shot from the docks in Ipswich came to light. I was drawn to the over-painting of parking spaces and I’m very pleased with this shot. I ought to try and shoot this again on medium or large format. The textures and shapes appeal very much to my eye.
