I managed to grab some time with Lee Gavin, an English film photographer and teacher based in Kent, UK.
Over to you, Lee.
Hi Lee, what’s this picture, then?

I’ve always wanted to try black & white film. So these shots come from my very first B&W film. I had actually no idea about which film should I use.
It’s time for the latest EMULSIVE interview and today’s victim subject is no slouch.

Welcome to the fourth lazy-post of the end of year season here at EMULSIVE.
The New Walk Centre in Leicester was the City Council’s headquarters since the mid-70s and the twin-towers, being among the city’s tallest buildings, have been a landmark feature on the skyline all of my life.
You might remember today’s interviewee from part one of his beautiful 2017 travelogue.
