2020 366 Project 42-46

Ah the project that never was… last time I posted about this project, I mentioned that during my little experiment in developing my own film last year - I lost two films to expired chemicals. Unfortunately on one of those two films was numbers 29-41 of this series. I can’t remember what was on the other film, so it was either a devastating loss that I’ve blanked from my memory or nothing special ha.

Beningbrough Hall Garden

I’ve shared photos of Beningbrough Halls Gardens before and every time we visit I get a bit giddy because it is exactly the time of thing I love photographing. Old green houses - check, flowers - check, gorgeous textures that make the happy synapses in my brain ping - check!

These photos are from the rolls of film that I developed myself and its probably taken me this long (over a year yikes) to get over the frustration of these images not being completely perfect. I love the grain but the water stains and the marks I still find incredibly frustrating because I know they are due to my own mistakes rather than it being something out of my control.

Maybe I owe Beningbrough Hall another visit to try again so I can get it right ha.

St Georges Field, Leeds

Can you believe that before I was made aware of St Georges Field - or Woodhouse Cemetary - in Leeds that I had no idea it was there. The ‘field’ is an old cemetary dating from the 1800’s that is thought to have over 10,000 bodies buried there - though you wouldn’t think to look at it as all the monuments and graves are quietly sat in the corners.

Now part of the University of Leeds Campus, the field is a quiet sanctuary on the edge of the busy centre and if I’m walking that side of the city, I now take a detour to walk through. I’m a little sad that I no longer have to go to Uni every Thursday actually, because it was a nice little spot to stretch my legs before heading to the library.
