Take it to the streets………..

From My Lens August 23, 2020

……………….. a saying people often use to encourage protest.

Last Saturday, whilst I was passing through Brighton, I came across a protest about #BLM (Black Lives Matter).

This was the 3rd protest that has happened locally, since the savage murder of George Floyd.

It’s not only the amount, but also the diversity of the protesters that seems to grow each time.

My kids and I also participated in the original march in June 2020.

Comparing to protests in London or America, the Brighton march seems almost sedate in comparison, but the message is clear, Its truly endearing to have and see the presence of youth and hear their voices.

While I was there I met many people including two of they guys who helped organise the protest (along with many others).

I was utterly mesmerised by their compassion and dedication to keep the momentum moving as a passive movement.

There has not been much coverage of this significant shift in this human rights movement, I am loathed to say this, but I think it largely hinges on the outcome of the American Presidential Campaign, which is due to be concluded on November 2020.

#BLM No Justice, No Peace.

This was supposed to be the start of a new project, that I have had to defer. It's gone a little mental at work and also the house renovation

Developed a couple of rolls of #Kodakgold200 with @takeiteasylab

Turned out great, bearing in mind they expired 18mths ago.

The 2nd is slightly out of focus, muscle memory using the excellent #fujicags645s is a little rusty.

Saturday people. 

Not had much luck with the film camera collection, moving house, dinks and dents aplenty.

A little good news, was a hack I discovered for the faulty winder on my #Minoltax500. I love this camera, especially the 28mm #ro
Another frame from the recent #ilfordxp2 that I put through the #yashicamat124g. 

I love this film.  Have 8 x rolls incoming today, ready for the weekend. 

#6x6 #TLR
Decided to dust down the #yashicamat124g #TLR today. I normally get my film off the web, so paying £11.50 for a roll of #ilfordxp2 was a tad steep.

Love this film as I do the 124g.
Headed up to the dunes of Camber Beach at the weekend, as I'm thinking of starting a new photo project. 

Met this fella, entertaining himself metal detecting, whilst his wife was shopping in Rye.  He's an Apple farmer by day (cider not eating apples
