Strangers #1 and #2
Inspired by how intrigued people are with the Yashica Mat 124-G I’ve decided to have another go at a strangers project. So here are Strangers #1 and #2.
An NSPCC guy on Clifton Triangle who seemed to have very little interest in telling me anything about the NSPCC. He was much more interested in the Yashica Mat.
A very drunk guy outside a pub in Clifton village, that actually asked me to take his picture. Rather than wait for him to pose I just took it mid drunken sway.
It seems so much easier when you have an eccentric camera, people really are put off by you trying to shove a massive, modern looking, black, digital thing in their face.

The Geekiest Glasses in the World.
Yesterday I properly started my masters project that will hopefully see me finishing my degree this academic year.
The project title is An Exploration of Gaze-Tracking for Augmented Reality and as the first step it involved building these rather dashing glasses.
Two webcams are mounted onto the glasses. One to provide pupil-tracking, and the other to provide an image of what the user is looking at. By correlating the two together I should be able to work out what the user is looking at, and where they’re looking at it from. Who knows exactly what I’ll do with such information, but thats what I have several months left to work out!

Supermarketing

It just so happens that I take a photo in my local Tesco just before it enters the news for terrible reasons. I’ve found what has happened rather harrowing; seeing locations mere minutes from my house on the news, noting the ever so slight, but present, links to my own life.

A Little Bit of Colour
After months of umming and ahhing, the first rolls of C-41 have been developed in our UoB Photosoc darkrooms (at least in the current era anyway). Niall has a much better and longer-winded write up here .
I’ve only really developed some rolls I designated as “tat” so far, but here are some photos all the same…
This picture is indicative of a problem we had in our first attempt at C41 development. It seems that our agitation method has left us with a rather uneven development, hence the bands of darker and lighter shades.
Oh and Merry Christmas and all that stuff.
