I’ve been decidedly un-inspired these last couple of weeks! It’s been dull and dismal, and it’s effected my mood. To combat this I decided to load a roll of film into the little Olympus XA2 and keep it with me. What that means in practice is, it’s in my pocket as I walk back and forth to work from where I park the car! I simply made photo’s of things that took my attention. The scene above made me smile. A whole bunch of people living in flats, all putting their bin out the same way around – except one. I bet he or she is the most interesting to talk to.




As I get older I think I am starting to suffer a little from SAD (Seasonal affective disorder). I never used to, perhaps I need to move to Mexico! As I sit writing this, the sunshine is pouring in the window, even for a few minutes, seems to lift my mood! Spring is around the corner, out with the macro lens and the colour film! Can’t come quickly enough!!
Great set of images, lovely results from the XA2.

I gues, out of the twenty or so bin owners, one prefers practicality of moving their bin over ease of filling it. 🙂
I like to carry a camera in my pocket too. I’m carrying an old Canon Sure Shot Supreme at present and just finished a roll of expired Provia 100 in it (now replaced by some HP5+). It’s nice to get a roll of semi random pictures back, sometimes months after you started shooting them.

Hi! The Canon Sureshot Supreme is one of the best compacts of all time! Wonderful lens. I just picked up a Canon 35AFM for a £5, but sadly the shutter seems to be up-the-creek. When it does fire the focus is very suspect according to the viewfinder display too, so I’ve given up on that one! Not that I need another compact, or camera for that matter!! Cheers and best wishes, Andy
