Now that my hissy fit with all that is Polaroid is near it's end..I have been wandering about in Preston with my trusty 636 camera. I am fascinated with connection between one place and another and the subways in Prestons holds a significant attachment to my being. I was in care in the early eighties and we had to travel home by bus via Preston - Blackburn and had to catch a bus at the station and I still remember waiting and playing in the subways as a child..very dangerous places to be at night when you are 4-6 years old.
They are still dangerous places though but I like the almost [A Clockwork Orange] edge about the site..the car park is a gorgeous piece of architecture and is a listed building, the Helvetica used in the signage harks back to another age..it is ageless, set in aspic. But back to the subways, I have managed to take a few photographs today that are both Polaroid and digital but would to go back and use my Makita film-based camera though. The resulting photographs may herald a newer side to my craft and I am thinking of concentrating on film-based media.
