Photo Challenge

The past – results

A warm welcome to Alex this week. We hope you’ll continue to contribute to the Photo Challenge!

Well done to everyone who sent a photo in. There weren’t many entries but the standard is excellent once again.

Keep it up!


Alex Toumazis

The photo’s shot down the barrel of a projector projecting a Kodachrome of me in the middle of the desert two summers ago. It’s a composite of two wildly different exposures, to get the slide and the projector exposed.


Jonathan Gazeley

I decided to recreate a self-portrait of my Grandad that he took while on active service in Korea in 1955. We’ve been told we look quite alike, and I tried to emphasise this with my choice of location and clothes. So this is my way of keeping the past alive.


Andy Young

I took this the other day in Brizzle.


Julia Gazeley

I have taken a picture of these intrepid athletes just before running the Coventry Fun Run.
The race has been taking place for the last 27 years, and my family has been taking part for the last ten.
It is a regular feature in the family calendar!


Jay Linn

It’s a dreadful pun I’m afraid!


Danielle Ainsworth

This one is the pigeon holes at Fitzwilliam College – most mornings I’d bounce down there hoping that I’d have some sort of post : ) Technically I’m not there now, but I walk past them on the way back from work (I still sort of hope that there’s something there!)

Challenge Admin, I enjoy taking photos mostly of landscapes and architecture - but I will try anything! I mostly shoot film and I spend a lot of time in my darkroom trying to get the perfect print. I'm a sysadmin for a living and I also enjoy cycling and music technology.

  1. I am enjoying looking at all the photos. Alex’s is particularly intriguing. However, my “douze points” this week have to go to Jonathan. I was very moved by the side-by-side potraits of my son and late father. Beautiful work, Jonathan :) xx

  2. Nce shot, Andy. I live and work in Bristol so I see those old cranes quite often.

  3. @Bristol and it’s surroundings is a wonderful place, Thanks for changing the photo.

  4. In fact on my way home from work this evening I heard on the local radio that the old industrial museum (where the cranes are) which has been closed for some time is re-opening soon as a fancy new museum called M Shed.
