Wildings was a well known and established department store with a traditional shopping experience, much loved in Newport since 1874.

Wildings department store

August 7, 2021

What I have captured here is a small reminder that is still present today. It’s an awesome piece of signage that probably welcomed delivery drivers since the 1980’s or 90’s judging by it’s style. I love its age and patina which for me visually represents the tough times and ending that the store went through.

This is a nice visual urban piece which appeals to me as a photography subject, with the vibrant, but distressed teal painted doors present in the photos providing a nice juxtaposition between the industrial brick walls and the small hint outlined by the signage that there was a vibrant and successful business that thrived here for many years.

I captured a quick succession of photos on my Canon 5D MKii paired with a Tamron 24-70 f2.8 lens which led to an enjoyable 15 minute project that has spurred me into capturing and documenting more subjects like this going forward.

VW 1965 Split Screen Van - KBD 265C

July 22, 2021

On my second trip to Croyde Bay this year I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time with my camera, and although the light changed fairly quickly after the first few shots, the backdrop and look of this 1965 VW van was so perfect, it had to be photographed.
