On Tap

This is from a quick visit to an abandoned bleach factory last week - fascinating and spooky place to explore. I'm going to have to return there with a tripod so I can get some shots of the darker recesses of the works, but in the meantime I'll put up some photos from my first foray in the Empty Places section of the gallery (when I get a spare minute).

Just had two fun days photographing nine-year old kids visiting Manchester University - they got to do fun stuff like assemble models of the brain, extract DNA from bananas, and even take part in a mock graduation ceremony (which was much more fun than my own real one by virtue of the chocolates being handed out instead of degrees...). I ended up shooting the whole thing on colour film, which was quite fun as I hadn't shot anything but black and white for the past few years. Was good though, seeing things in a slightly different way than I would usually, plus it was quite pleasant to be able to hand over the pile of rolls at the end of the session for someone else to develop!
