Welcome to peterboroughinwinter.co.uk, a photoblog by Ben Parsons focused around Peterborough, UK.

I use a Fujifilm Finepix F10. If you'd like a larger version of any of the images shown, just say so in the comments for that image, and I'll do my best to get it added.

Walking

I went for a walk last night. I only intended to walk around the block, but I kept thinking “just one more section”, and “I’ll just walk to [x landmark in the distance]”, and in the end I was out for nearly two hours.

Despite having lived here for nearly a year, but this was the first time I’d explored this part of the city. I found it rather run down, with rows of boarded up buildings, grotty looking businesses with names in the format [Name]’s [Company type], and not a friendly/happy face to be seen.

But all this just made me think that what I should do is take my camera with me more often. I went to Glastonbury this weekend, with camera almost constantly in my hand taking pictures, and that’s how it should be! For my next project, I’m intending to employ a gonzow-like style, not meaning that I’ll be in the pictures (necessarily), just that they’ll be more in-the-action, and less framed, etc. This is somewhat inspired by Zoldan King.

I’m sorry for making you look at this terrible picture. It was taken with my new phone, a Nokia 6300 - which has an adequate camera for a phone, but still. Been busy lately anyway, so I’m not sure there would have been much more content here even if my bike wasn’t gone…
