As Autumn began in Germany the leaves went from green to a fiery orange, I’ve never experienced such vibrant colours as those threes down on the street. The transition only lasted a couple of days. Once the leaves had lost their saturation and fallen to the ground they were collected by street workers and gathered into metal cages at the top of the road, ready for collection, leaving the trees naked and the streets safer for walking and driving. #autumntransition #autumn #germany #nordrheinwestfalen #ruhrarea #witten #hagen #industry #leisure #countryside #35mm #35mmfilm #colourfilm #filmphotography #somewheremagazine #ishootfilm #filmisalive #filmsnotdead #filmisnotdead #believeinfilm #shootfilmuk #filmfeed #fujifilm #fujifilmC200 #fujiC200 #CanonA1 (at Witten, Germany)

Walking in Nordrhein Westfalen in search of the light as it lit up the streets intermittently between passing clouds. One of my favourites from yesterday, just a shame it’s such low quality from my phone. #monochrome #blueprint #bridge #blackandwhite #crossing #street #road #architecture #silhouette #clouds #highkey #lines #shape #urban #city #vsco #iphone6 #blackandwhite #bnw #bnwphotography #bnw_city_streetlife #bnw_europe #bnwmood #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhiteonly #bnwmagazine #bnw_street (at Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany)

Maybe my new favourite photo-book for the moment. ‘Koks und Cola’ Photography from The Ruhrgebiet in the 50’s. I’ve been wanting to shoot more black and white film a lot lately and experiment with developing at home, I miss the darkroom and would like to dive in to it all again properly. I will be doing so soon if things go to plan and will be finding more research like this to influence my own work. For now, here’s a few pages from the book. #ruhrgebiet #ruhrarea #filmphotography #photobook #witten #essen #dortmund #bibliothek #bibliothekwitten #filmfeed #research #germany #nordrheinwestfalen (at Bibliothek Witten)

Some photos from a lovely walk today through the woods finding boars, deer, a robin, a crepe van covered in English signs selling cafe au lait and plenty of nice landscapes. #witten #wald #waldmeister #forrest #woods #snow #leaves #winter #autumn #dcshoecousa #dcshoes #filthy #walking #outdoors #germany #westerngermany #westgermany #wandering #shootingfilm #polaroidsx70 #canonA1 #VW #sonntag (at Hohenstein Wildgehege)

For anyone wondering if there’s such a thing as a “creepy drum” the answer is yes... yes there is. #weird #drum #drummerboy #drummergirl #shopwindow #why #bangonmydrum (at Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany)
