A selection of disposables from a day trip to Newcastle a couple of weeks ago.
Disposable cameras aren't really trendy or up to date, obviously, but I like them for a few reasons. Mainly because you can't see the photos until they're developed...the waiting and usually in my case, forgetting about what I've taken pictures of means that when they arrive it's a nice reminder of the occasion. The slightly grainy quality and unpredictability is also why I'm a fan. No display of photos also means no re-taking ten times; it is what it is, and most of the time means I put a little bit more effort into composing them. Not sure if that shows...
I set off driving on a beautiful morning, such nice weather on the way up. A crisp, cold start to the day is my favourite in autumn.
Driving across the Tyne Bridge is always nice, feels like a little bit of me is coming home, even though I don't even live in Newcastle any more.
A lovely photo of my sister outside my old university union, now her new university union!
Wonderful NefEsh Trio at King's Hall.
Charles Grey Monument in the sunshine.
Looking down Grey Street on our way to Blake's coffee house where I spent a lovely few hours with the band, and Paul, catching up and swapping stories and generally chatting.
The way out of the city, looking towards the sunset, and on my way to see my old housemate Helen in her new pad. We went for dinner, along with Gabby in the photo above, at a great place near her house called Cafe Med. Delicious food and really good value.
