If I’m out about about exploring I’ll often see if there’s a redundant church nearby. After my visit to Bury St Edmunds, a month ago, I discovered St Mary’s in the Suffolk village of Icklingham. By now the sun was beginning to drop in the sky and that gave me some beautiful light inside.
I loaded a roll of film into my pinhole camera and set myself the task of finding sufficient subjects to photograph so I could develop it when I got home. I often find 35mm film rather overwhelming as it’s rare for me to find 36 subjects to photograph in one place. The 12 frames on a roll of 120 film is perfect though - just right for an afternoon’s project.
Church music…
Glorious winter sun catching the screen in front of the sanctuary.
By the altar - yet more irresistible light
I presume this cart was used for bearing coffins.
Getting really to the pulpit to capture some of the beautifully ornate carving.
One final image, including the texture of the north door…
