This set of pictures is part of an ongoing project to document the historic suburb of Jericho in Oxford which I have been doing on and off since 2013 mainly during my lunch break. It’s possible I have pictures from before 2013 but that’s the oldest date in my archive that I have tagged ‘Jericho’. Whenever I have a camera or film to test I often walk around Jericho and see what catches my eye, often photographing the same things in different light at different times of the year. The streets are usually very quiet which is why I don’t have many pictures of people. Quiet pictures of a quiet place.
A whole range of film formats is represented here from 35mm up to 5×4 large format. Hopefully soon I will be doing some 10×8 photography around Jericho but that won’t be during my lunch break!
These pictures were made with the following cameras: Bronica ETRSi, Rolleiflex 3.5 Automat, Bronica SQA, Pentax 645, Leica M6, Yashica Electro 35, Graflex Crown Graphic, Pentax P30N; and the following films: Ilford FP4, Kodak Plus-X, Eastman Double X, Fuji Acros 100, Kodak Tri-X.
Used to work down that way back in the mid 70s. I remember going to a Cinema in the Jericho area but can’t for the life of me remember it’s name [in Walton street I think]. Wonder if it is still there, pretty unlikely. Looks a lot more depressing than I remember … That’s progress I guess ;}. Thanks for the memories.
Hey Colin, the cinema is still there (The Phoenix Picturehouse) and has had a refit. Lots of changes on Walton Street over the years I’ve worked there.
Very impressive set of images.
Thanks, Clive. I forgot I had posted this set so thanks for your comment which reminded me.
