No parking please
Expired Ilford FP4+. Double exposure by me.
The Oxford Carfax view was shot on a Cosmic Symbol camera on November 16th 2014. The "No parking please" sign was shot on an Olympus 35DC sometime in the past. I don't recognise where this is; I want to say it is in Oxford because of the bicycle and the wall, but I don't recognise the style of building that appears at the right of the image, so based on other shots on the roll it could be from a trip in 2011 to Morley, near Leeds. The film was developed at home by me in Ilfosol-3 for 9.5 minutes on December 7th 2014.
This is an unintentional film swap. I originally put this charity shop roll of expired Ilford FP4+ into an Olympus 35DC in 2008, and shot the occasional frame on it until 2011, when the camera got put away in a tidying frenzy. In 2014 I pulled it out to finish the film but by then the battery was dead. I thought I had at least half the film still left to shoot, so I rewound it and put it into my Cosmic Symbol, which would need no battery. I thought I had shot through the correct number of frames with my hand over the lens to get to the unexposed part but evidently I underestimated this because there are a lot of double exposures.
The difference between my life in 2008, 2011 and now in 2014 is represented in some of these images. In many ways they show what my overlapping memories and feelings seem like. They are not a traditional film swap, but the "difference in me" between then and now almost makes up for the two images not being taken by different people, so I'm treating them as if they were.
