Ok, so this is one of my favourite ‘snaps’. Snaps in so far as it was not planned. I happened to have my camera in the car and saw this image. In the reflection of the oil i spotted the power line, and thought that this created a great metaphor for our relationship with the environment. I cant decide on a title as yet, suggestions welcome.
Taken from the same spot – this is called ‘A Modern Rainbow’

Popular – but why?
So, I uploaded this picture on Flickr a few days ago. It is BY FAR my most viewed image already with over 1200 views! I am of course extremely pleased, but also very confused! I have added it to only a few groups and although i do like it, it certainly is not one of my favourites. However, here it is for you to enjoy. If you like it – let me know why!
Kodak EIR / Areochrome
I have been aware of this film for about 5-6 years, but never really had the money to be able to afford to buy it. It is a most challenging film to use and frankly i didn’t want to spent £50 a roll for it to not come out. 18months ago i won a roll on ebay for £34. It sat in my freezer for around 8 months until i went to Ireland. I took it on a whim and put it in my trusty Nikon FM. The weather was predictably awful and EIR tends (as i found) to only really like bright sunshine, fortunately I finished off the roll in England.
Below are a few of the pictures that i liked the most. I now have 5 rolls in the Freezer, it is the heroin of the film world. So addictive!
