Reflekt.

I tend to take my camera out with no preconceptions of what I will shoot more than often, this is one of my true loves for photography, never knowing. This time I decided to keep the idea of 'reflections' in the back of my head, just as a subject to perhaps look out for. 

Here be thy results;

You may recognize this one, rather abstract image that inspired me to look for more reflections.

Took this a while back whilst trippin' balls at Roadburn festival, thought it was appropriate.

Out of Date S. Croft Update.

Party., a photo by Adam Reid1 on Flickr.

You may recall the recent Stokes Croft disruptions. About a month ago a impromptu free party began next door to Telepathic Heights and out into the street, directly opposite that fateful Tesco Express. I arrived about 2am and it carried on for a number of hours either side. Police decided to close the street (a main road into Bristol, a Red Route too, surprising) and allowed it to carry on as it were.

A&S Police seemed to have got it right this time.

 

My favorite party-goers were these two, weaving in & out of peoples legs all night, playing, fighting, generally being free.

Riot Update.

Kicked off again last night. Much of the same as last time, yet shamefully unprovoked this time.

 

Spiralled beyond Stokes Croft into the Bear Pit and Cabot's Circus apparently. Might be getting these printed in This Is Bristol, shall wait & see.

Managed to get about 15mins shooting before I near enough broke my foot. Hyped to come back with some proper kit and longer to make use of all the angles.

Mild, mild West...

I told ye, what did I say!

Royally kicked off last night, my local streets became a full-scale riot. Been through this too many times, check the news for figures and such but they basically tried & failed to evict Telepathic Heights squat, Tesco got fucked over.

Sit down & sing, peaceful times earlier on.

Chopper sat above my house for nearly 12 hours...

Too badass for human words.

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.

Who art thou?

I must know, all of me needs to know.
