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.

2020 366 PROJECT 23-25

It seems a little odd sharing the photos from a failed project of one of the strangest years we’ve ever experienced - but here we are - the ripples of 2020 echo through…

23/366/2020 - The first signs of Spring starting to pop up

24/366/2020 - My nephew and current fave small boy in the whole world (hes about to have a little brother soon - so I can’t say that for long haha). His smile brightens my worst days and honestly, I miss him so much it hurts. I’m glad he doesn’t really have the same concepts of time and distance as I do as hes much happier for it - and I’m happy when hes happy <3

25/366/2020 - We took Elijah to the farm and he watched his Mum feed the sheep.

Film: Kodak T-Max 400- sent to me by Kodak Alaris and developed and scanned by myself (hence the water stains - such an amateur ha)

2020 366 PROJECT 19-22

19/366/2020 - A random bit of graffetti in Leeds

20 & 21/366/2020 - I used to walk to the dock in my lunch - I always liked the Royal Armouries building and the second day I walked a bit further and discovered the cute free library.

22/366/2020 - I met a friend and her darling little baby for lunch. ‘Member going for lunch?

Inside Harewood House

Sometimes I worry that the content of my posts are a bit samey. But then I forget about it and think about how much I love the photos I’m sharing. The worlds too crazy right now and lifes too short to not share the things you love don’t you think?

So in a true to me fashion - here are some old house appreciation photos.

I took these with Kodak TMax P3200 - and then butchered them myself in developing and scanning - so if you want an accurate reflection of how this film looks when done right, this is not the post (see this review on Emulsive for the proper film writing). However if you love some film grain, a bit of amateur film developing and ‘winging it’ film scanning - then this is the post for you.

I’m personally very taken with the grain in these photos - it works with the context and I just love how this film can handle my high contrast editing too. There was a few times when I went too far and had to pull myself back, but overall, I think these reflect how truly stunning Harewood House is.
