I like typological photos a lot and am knee-deep in a small project with them. The mundane gets more interesting when aggregated, for me, and I like the mundane a lot to begin with. Finding a aggregated collection is like a year's supply of hand-flappingly, stutteringly exciting treats.

Richard Nicholson's Last One Out, Please Turn On The Light is a survey of London's remaining professional darkrooms [via MeFi]. I think this might be at least a month's supply of awesome, and the text is great too.

What really got me excited was the East End Lock-Ups and Pram Sheds on his main page, after the series of vibrant portraits. I think flat-on, elevation-style photographs are firmly on my list of Favourite Things by now.

Meanwhile back with the thoroughly mundane, I'm really enjoying my Instax [Mini] project. I'm not doing anything too stunning, but there's been one or two where I felt like I almost nailed it. So far, it's meeting its brief to combat joylessness.
