The idea is simple: bring your face, bring a camera, bring a friend... we're here to make new profile pictures! Fans of photography — behind the lens or in front — are invited to come along and meet people, take pictures, and hopefully end up with some fantastic new portraits. Who cares if your Facebook profile picture is awesome already? This is your chance to get another! And you also get to practice taking photographs of people, become a bit less shy about having your picture taken, make new friends, and generally just have a laugh.

I decided to push my photographer self a little further and do something a bit more conventional (or unconventional for me): a "fashion" shoot.

Third batch of expired film from 2004. Llangrannog, portraits, and the most hipster photography I've ever taken. Put your iPhone fauxlaroid apps away. Step away from Instagram. This is how it's meant to be done.

More expired film from 2004. This must have been just after the return from Ireland.

I'm currently emptying my fridge of expired and exposed films. Towards the end of the week I sent nine such films for developing and scanning (on the cheap) and this is one of them that came back. It's always a little strange coming across pictures from the past that you've not seen before. It's also a bit strange when you find photographs of someone you lived with and loved for many years. What surprised me most, however, was the fact that I shot some portraits and didn't remember it!
