These past few posts are topsy-turvy – I always said that the Monday post would be a written post and the Thursday post would be a gallery.
However, last week due to workload I didn’t manage to get the written Tourbox Pt.2 post out until Wednesday or Thursday, so for this week I’m going start the Monday with a gallery.
It’s actually an old set of images.
This weekend I’ve started going through my archive tidying up my discs and making sure everything is backed up and I have multiple copies of everything (partly because I’ve subscribed to Backblaze and I’ve got my main archive currently backing up).
During this process I was going through my working space for the year 2024 and came across two folders of images that I had totally forgotten about.
They were taken in October in New York and the reason I forgot about them was, we flew back overnight and that morning everything was just dumped on my machine so I could get on working straight to the launch party for Sabotage Gallery (Which I co-founded).
Then followed a few months where every non-working hour was spent with family and so I just forgot about the images until this weekend.
These were all taken on a single day wandering around New York, Following a long weekend in Sleepy Hollow photographing the film festival there. It was a day for us to switch off, travelling via the subway, walking through Tribecca and ended up walking along the high line to Hudson yards.
They are all taken on the X100V, and to be honest, you’ve seen thousands of images these like these of New York before but these are my version and as I say although nothing special I quite like them.
They were edited this weekend with quite a distance between when they were taken, so I’ve probably looked at them in an entirely different way to when I took them. They’ve all been edited in Filmpack8 from the raw files, Mostly using the Adox based simulations, a film that I’m not really familiar with (Up until now, I’ve been mainly using Ilford and Kodak simulations that I’ve been familiar with).
Let me know what you think of them as usual. Because they are edited and using a different simulation, I do not see the point of adding the shooting details as I usually do.
