Whitby rooftops, Yorkshire 1982

I’m stalling for time by posting an older image. What I really want to do is organize a selection of motion abstraction images on the main site and post a few of them on this blog but life has been busy with other priorities.

This photograph is from genuine Ilford HP5 black and white film processed the old fashioned way in a Paterson film tank.

An older reader might recognize the scene as being close to that in the background of the cover shot and first plate from Ian Berry‘s in 1978 book, The English. Probably the first photography monograph that I had ever purchased; that image was definitely in my mind when my then girlfriend, now wife, and I visited on a much cooler spring day.
