Hasta ahora, todo bien …

Hasta ahora, Todo bien… So far, So good, or at least I think that’s what it means? I used Google Translate, so it could say anything? I once used Google Translate to send a birthday message to a Swedish friend on Facebook, he hasn’t spoken to me since…

So far, so good? Not quite. I shot a project in Yellowknife, Canada, a couple of years ago (it’s actually still an ongoing, long-term project), I arrived there with my good friend, and writer, Trevor Gibbs, one Sunday afternoon in early September, we had absolutely no idea who or what the project was going to be about. I still don’t know what that project’s about, but maybe that’s a good thing? We arrived in the far north of Canada with no preconceived ideas…

Not so in Spain. For this project I had a firm idea of who, and what, I wanted to shoot and document – British Expatriates, here for a reason. Unfortunately it’s for those very reasons, whatever they might be, that people aren’t too keen on having their photograph taken. I’m staying in Seron, a small hillside town an hours drive north of Almeria, it’s a beautiful place, but there aren’t many Brit’s here. So, I’ve spent the last week drinking wine, cooking, writing and visiting other towns, one such town was Albox, but Albox is another blog article in itself, for all the wrong reasons…

I’m shooting this project on film, so more iPhone photos I’m afraid, and some iPhone photos of some instant film I shot on my drive south. I’m editing everything with VSCOcam, which I’m really starting to like.

…that’s pretty much all I have for the moment, news wise. The house, below, is where I’m staying. All the houses look the same, or all the doors look the same. I’d like to go out for a walk, but I’m scared I’ll got lost. In a bar.
