Photos from a roll that's been sitting in my camera for over 3 months... I absolutely hate this film brand, I only remembered what film it was when I opened up the camera - I had been treating it like a roll of Tri-X 400. Anyway;
And this photo is for a small zine that someone on my course is curating; each issue is based around a different shape, the first issue based around the ever-ominous and trendy triangle. I based my image around clichéd 'cool' things so we have here a triangle, an anonymous self portrait from behind, and a quirky hoodie. All this combined with the image being taken using a roughly head on flash creates a rather 'hip' photograph that suits the 'hip' triangle shape:
the 5th down picture, the downward look at the sidewalk, is awesome. the textures are amazing and i love the little details. My least favorite are the girl on the bus, it looks like you missed the focus a bit, and i also dislike the mountains, though the motion in it is cool. looks like you took it out a window which is pretty cool for this shot.
how did you get it so only the edge of the photo is noticeably motion blurred?

Yeah I did miss the focus on the first shot, trying to shoot wide open on a moving train at 1/15 is haaard :P That's no excuse though, I've handheld longer more difficult shots and kept them crisper... The one of the cliffs is shot through a car window while driving (which is why the focus is again off, can't focus and drive at the same time haha), good observation :) the motion on the right is from trees lining the motorway in the foreground and just getting lucky with the positioning. I think if the shot was on colour film there would be a big difference between the tones and would make it much more obvious that it's closer than what it appears!

Dude, the picture of the four windows, I wish it was cropped in a little closer, but holllllyyyyy crap. Thats such a good symmetry shot. Kudos
