Digbeth

From time to time, something happens that makes me extremely glad I live in Birmingham, and not somewhere like London, or nearer London at least. Last weekend I went to town with my BFF (my mom) to take photos in the style of Margaret Bourke White's building photos to fill a page in my sketchbook I've had empty for months, and I thought that the falling down buildings in Digbeth would be good for these. Plus, I've been meaning to photograph Digbeth for ages and ages. Welllll, we came across the Custard Factory (that I've actually never been to before, despite living here for my whole life) which was brilliant to photograph. I think it was, anyway. Here are some of the photos:

Again, if anyone would like to buy me an earlyish birthday present, I'd love to have his book.

#1 - Looking through my Flickr photostream...

Occasionally I look back through my full up Flickr photostream, sometimes because I need to delete things to add something new, sometimes just because. I've had this account since July 2008 and I used to upload lots but don't really any more, due to lack of space and I sort of just gave up with it. I tried really hard to get it seen a bit more but to no avail. Sort of. I think I should get a pro account. But I don't know. I've been thinking about this since I got the account.

But that really wasn't the point of the post. I was going to post some of my older photos from my Flickr that I particularly like, or just that I feel like posting.
