This week has been a bit of a drab one weather wise so I am using this as an opportunity to start of my grim up north series. Before I came to Sheffield I had certain preconceptions. Basically most of my knowledge of Sheffield came from the full monty. A good film for sure but possibly not the best method of learning about a city. Sheffield is a film with an industrial heritage and with that comes some impressive architecture and engineering as well as some things not traditionally loved or made the centre of attention when it comes to showing off the city. This blog is designed to try to look at things differently.
This week focuses on things we may normally walk past without even noticing. Hopefully you will agree it can be best to take a second glance at things.
I hope you enjoy it and as always check out the Twitter the Facebook and my Etsy shop. Also I am selling some of my insect photos on ebay. 50% of the profits go to the Invertebrate conservation charity Buglife. Please check them out here Last but not least my mini exhibition based on a walk from this blog was hung this week at Eten Cafe, York street. It will officially be launched next Wednesday so I will explain more in next weeks blog.
