The old Odeon building again - the five metal frames that housed the five letters of the sign are still on the side of the building, rusting away.

Where to start? What can you say about a foodstuff where, after it's reconstitued with boiling water, most of the flavour comes from the slight melting of the plastic cup the noodles are soaking in?

It seems to switch allegiance every two weeks or so - it's currently an official SEAT garage, but next week, who knows?

It's supposed to be a pedestrian zone near the University campus, but I've been nearly run over twice walking through it in the past fortnight.

Ice cream vans always seem to come out well on toy cameras - something to do with being evocative and symbolic of childhood, maybe.

The last time I went in this shop - I don't know if it's a pawn brokers, but it's the same kind of thing - and it ended badly. They were clearly totally bonkers. I was looking for a VHS player with s-video connectors, and they tried to overcharge me by about 150% for one that clearly didn't have any. They then got really aggressive when I didn't want to pay them. Which is a bit annoying as they have some really nice medium format cameras in the window now.

After being inspired by some of the writing I've seen on a few blogs recently, I'm mulling over something new for Espion Daily. I'll try it out and build up a bit of a reserve to see how it works, but I think it might work. It's may not be 'serial' enough to keep people interested, but it'll be more interesting than describing the photos, I hope.

Another Long Wait on Pilgrim Street

Near the old, abandoned Odeon building and the ever changing, independent Tyneside Cinema... perhaps someday the Tyneside will grow organically over the bus lanes and breathe new life back into that derelict building.

Durham Miners' Gala, 2006. I saw her from some distance away, not because she was dressed differently from the other women her age, but because she moved in contrast to the chaos around her - effortlessly and with obvious purpose - down the bank in a crescent shape and finished in the exact place I knew she would stop at in the frame.

Can't remember where this was, but probably Saltwell park. I still have a roll of film I shot on my Holga there, but I've no idea where it is. On that roll is a shot of a fight between two swans that I caught closer up than was probably advisable, and it may well make for a good set if I ever find out what I did with it.

In Ponteland - as I took this, a car drove past and someone shouted 'fucker' out of the window at me. Adoring fans, eh? :)

I have to do a number check on my espion pics to see how many numbers there are - after almost 500 you'd think there would be a few.

There's some less-crap-than-average graffiti round here, and some stickers. Not good enough to photograph properly, but not totally awful either...

Kodak Vericolor on an Holga - light leak courtesy of me not sealing the film tightly enough... it looks OK here, but some of the other shots didn't fare so well...

Supposedly, the previous occupant of my flat used to feed Pharaoh salmon, which might explain the unusually keen interest in me.

My musing over the future of my espion blog comes down to this: I have to put some time in to doing the things I've been meaning to do with it for a long time. Number one - add some people to the blogroll - hardly a gruelling job.
