Okay, I'm classing this as done, although there have been some deviations. I sold the Bronica and bought a 6x6 format Mamiya in its place. Since both are medium format, manual cameras of a similar type and age, however, I don't think that the change is significant enough to warrant my failing myself on this point. If I'd had the Mamiya from the start, the list would simply have read Mamiya rather than Bronica. Either way, I'm now pretty confident using manual medium format, and if you put the Bronica back in my hands, I'm confident I could use it well.

At the moment, I imagine I'll be classifying this as a fail, since my photographic and artistic goals and methods have altered dramatically since writing this list. Whilst I am shooting to themes, with specific end goals, I don't see what I do as 'going on a shoot' as such anymore. It's far less structured, and so, far more enjoyable!

In Blackpool, on Monday April 30th 2012. Walked to Fleetwood, got a tram back to the North Pier.

At Manchester Ritz on Saturday April 14th 2012.
