A walk in the park
At the weekend I signed up to take part in the inaugural ‘Girls, Gays and Theys’ Glasgow photowalk at Queen’s park and the organiser Shonagh Kelly couldn’t have picked a nicer day for it to be held.
This was somewhat out of my comfort zone, meeting new people and taking photos in public, which was exactly why I thought it would be a good idea to go along.
We we each given a free roll of Kodak Ultramax 400 film thanks to Analogue Wonderland and set off through the park chatting and snapping as we went. I didn’t pay too much attention to what I was actually shooting, meaning I kept forgetting to set the exposure correctly between each shot, but the shots turned out better than I had expected.
Massive props to Gulabi who not only offered a discount for those taking part, but I think they turned around the developing of my images in under 2 hours.
As well as getting an opportunity to chat with other (proper) photographers, it was super interesting to see how different everyones approaches were and what people were drawn to shooting. Will definitely be keeping an eye out to sign up to the next one.
