Some random images made on expired Kodak Tri-X film during my lunch hour. I started the roll off by photographing the window typography in the windows of the soon to be burger place but the first time I went there the sun was shining on the buildings across the street and the reflections in the glass were too distracting. The next day I left for work earlier than usual in the morning and the overcast light was perfect. I went back there again in my lunch hour that same day to ask if I could photograph from inside the building looking out but the boss wasn’t there and the construction worker standing in the doorway said he couldn’t give me permission so I ended up making a portrait of him instead. There’s so much construction going on around Oxford city centre at the moment. I feel a construction worker portrait project coming on.
[Tech info:] Mamiya C330f with 80mm lens, Kodak Tri-X processed in HC110 dilution b (1:31).
I love the way this typography has been done. The dark areas allow you to see in through the glass
Shop front typography. George Street.
I like the frontage of this building on George Street.
Construction worker in doorway. He was very reluctant to be photographed at first because he thought I wanted him to 'pose'. Instead I told him not to move
Here's the work being carried out around the back of the same building
Hand painted sign, Broad Street
The three construction workers that I pass almost every day on my way back to my office. A friendly group of guys
I photographed this girl some months ago so it was nice to bump into her again. She's one of the most photogenic people I've come across
This is the following day from the shot above. Little Clarendon Street
