91 bus route /August 19, 2012 by Nigel Rumsey

Somewhere near Russell Square, London

Olympus 35 RC, Era 100, Rodinal 1+50 10mins.

When I developed this film, for some reason, I looked up the times for Efke 100 (10mins.) not Era 100 which it is. Consequentially it was under developed by 4mins. A few of the shots were OK. It's so annoying to make such a schoolboy error.

Room 318 Every month I spend three nights in this room. This hotel, this room (yes, I ask for it specifically, it’s not that weird), three nights, every month. Each month go into those three nights intending to use the time productively. ‘I’ll do some research and project planning.’ ‘I’ll fire up my laptop, sit at that slightly-too-narrow desk and do something worthwhile.’ ‘I’m going to come out of these three days with a plan.’ ‘This time will not be wasted, I have three whole nights, not to be wasted, not this month. No siree. It would be a crime. Not this month.’ . Night 1: I eat a takeaway salad. Watch two hours of Brexit news and The Widow, an ITV drama that really isn’t worth the trouble. Night 2: I get back late, the same salad, peanut butter and Maltesers. More Brexit, the second part of The Widow - it could get better. Night 3: Another salad. No Brexit news. ‘It’s a shame The Widow isn’t on again. Oh, I’ve my laptop in the office. Back-to-back reruns of Designated Survivor, result!’ There’s always next month. #NigelnotFarage #room318 #nearlyadocumentaryphotographer

The Old Sun, Rosherville, Gravesend The Old Sun has been on this site since before 1840, when records begin. The original building was replaced by this one in 1905, I haven’t been able to find a date when it closed. This is one of many pubs to have recently closed in Gravesend. Since the turn of the century, 24 pubs in the town have ceased trading. Part of an ongoing project. #hasselblad #portra400film #filmphotography #closedpub #ishootfilm #documentingbritain #gravesend #kent #pub #publichouse #bar #closed #documentaryphotography #everydaygravesend

I’ve edited this a few times but I’ve never been able to get the white balance the way I like it. This morning I opened it in @captureonepro, clicked auto-levels, BAM! A tweak here, a tweak there - very happy. #portraits #hasselblad #portra400 #kodak #captureone #london #streetportrait

I’m spending a few days shooting with my X-T3 set to square format, reminding my brain to compose when using the Hassy. It was a beautiful day here in London yesterday. If you kept out of the wind you could convince yourself spring is on the way. 😉 #London #Spitalfields #wilkesstreet #xt3 #fujifilm #stylish #woman #storyofthestreet #streetshared #streetphotographers #streetmagazine #everybodystreet #instamagazine_ #citygrammers #streetxstory #streetphotographyinternational #streettogether #streetleaks #photodocumentary #street_photography #peopleinframe #peopleinsquare
