I've been having a lot of fun recently taking lots of photos, particularly experimenting with film. The above shot was shot in b&w on my little Canon 300v. I've also taken a load of shots on expired slide film which gives some very strange colours [...]

There is also a Valentine specific one where the drawing board is a heart with extra valentine-like additions (flowers and hearts etc).

Yorkshire Sculpture Park 038Originally uploaded by _pauls.

Henry Moore has to be one of my favourite artists, his stuff being so emotional and connected in a strange and abstract way. It was his birthday on the 30th July so I thought a quick post was in order.
