Stokes Croft.

My high street.
Basically, an incredibly interesting place. Very culturally/art motivated, liberal, lots of squats/communes, graffiti is encouraged (about 3 Banksy's within 3 mins), lots of live music.
I was meant to do an 'environmental portraiture' project so I wandered up & down here for about 5 hours, stopped people and shot things I saw.
First time shooting on 120.
Colour: Provia 100 shot on Mamiya 645. B&W: XP2 on Mamiya 7ii.

Will be spending a lot more time down there shooting, this was a warm-up more than anything.
