Your Hometown

[Peter David Grant]

Home since 2006 - beautiful but surprisingly difficult to photograph in a way that goes beyond the cliches.

I had a double take here, thinking it was Oxford, which has been my home since 2005. I've not yet visited Cambridge, but am going for a wedding later this year. Your photographs make are making me look forward to seeing the place. Thanks for sharing!

I am actually doing a project on the unseen aspects of Oxford. (An Unseen Oxford - An Unseen Oxford is a documentary photography project based in and around the City of Oxford. It aims to look behind the scenes, and find people and activities which most residents and visitors wouldn’t notice or realise they were there.)

Here are some pictures from me:

This is the view from my office balcony. I have lived here for the last 6 years.

Do you get much of a view of the race from here?

Although I've lived in London for over 25 years my hometown is Bournemouth on the south coast of England, where I took these photographs on a Yashica-Mat in 1971.

Here is a Blurb book I put together awhile back on the town where I grew up:

Not that I would expect anyone to, but I cannot recommend buying this since the few printed copies I ordered came back with a distinct green cast even though I'm pretty sure I followed their instructions for B+W to the letter.

Anyway...

Kodak Ektachrome

Thank you got that as it sure looked just like what I used over the years. In fact, I am about to pull some Ecktachrome slides myself for the projector.

I am considering an outdoor projection session!

Although I've lived in Chicago for eight years now, Pittsburgh will always be home for me.

Here's a couple of shots of the few that I can currently locate. I really need to get organized...

That Swan bed is too cool!

Looks comfortable to me!

The only thing that this house has in common is that they are both made out of brick.

This house was built for John Ringland, the founder of United States Gypsum and inventor of drywall.
