      About the Book

      Edit

      This book began with an obsolete camera, two rolls of out of date and discontinued film and an obsolete subject - the police boxes found on the streets of Edinburgh, anonymous relics of the pre-mobile telecommunications era.



      Edinburgh Police Boxes is a series of photographs of the facades of these distinctive police boxes of Scotland’s capital city. The pictures were all shot from the same perspective - either a front or rear elevation with the field of view parallel to the face of the subject. The series documents, with an objective viewpoint, the different characteristics of what are on cursory inspection identical items and takes in as many examples as possible within the confines of the project.



      The equipment used was a 4x4cm frame twin lens reflex camera using 127 colour reversal film, a format that was discontinued by Kodak in 1995. Two Croatian manufacturers still produce film in this size today, however the colour reversal Macochrome film used for this project, of which only two rolls were available at the time of shooting, has also been discontinued. The intention was to use an out of date camera to take photographs of an out of date subject.
