What happens when you think you're shooting colour film but actually it's black and white

Still, it's nice developing black and white film at home, watching the negatives slowly dry beside the open window.

 

May I

 

From the start of May

"It were an accident, I swear" with Raising Holy Sparks, the beach, some mirrors and some mild neck-ache

These are from March and April gone; the first four are photos taken around about Dublin with Vicky and Dave the afternoon before this gig, Raising Holy Sparks supporting Grouper in the Unitarian church. Not for the first time (and, I resignedly presume, nor the last) I didn't mark the film correctly (or at all, probably) and put it right back in the same camera when it was done. The other layer on these first four are from a walk with Zara around the bay behind Blake's Hill (the serendipity of which has only just struck me now, what with the first Raising Holy Sparks album being named after this bay) (if I'm not mistaken).






 

This one is in fact a triple exposure (tilt yer head anti-clockwise, then clockwise, then anti-clockwise again)

And the rest of the film, taken around Renmore and Grattan beach that weird few days in April with the really nice weather times. Also the film got mangled in the film processor, hence the gouges.

 

'Whispered Sun' video

Jimmy Monaghan came up with an ace concept for a video for Yawning Chasm and it was executed quickly and easily yesterday evening in Jimmy's front room, ably assisted by Jason Kane.

Get the Whispered Sun EP for naught here.

And now for the very special "Behind the Scene Is" bit:

Kitchen Roll

 

I left an old camera with a roll of out of date film in the kitchen for about a month, to be on hand for the various small occurrences in and around the kitchen table.

Then I finished the film and proceeded to leave it about month before getting it developed; typical.
