In film photography a double exposure or multi exposure is where intentionally or unintentionally multiple images are captured on the same piece of film. This usually works best with a lower light sensitive film thus allowing more exposures.
Anyhow this is a little different, this is an overlapping exposure, where the film was only advanced part way, to create an overlapping image effect. Here the original image was taken to ensure there would be some darkness to the lower left, then a guessed advance of the film made (with the winder disengaged for some of it), then I lined up an image that would hopefully expose again in the darker area of the first image.

At the start of November 2020 I met with Gary Philipson, presenter on BBC Tees. I had been contacted by his producer, Lindsay, who had become interested in this site, the local history I celebrate and am passionate about, my posts, photographs and the concept of home and being in your rightful place – really psychogeography in itself – how your surroundings effect you as a person and your emotions.

So I met Gary, who we later found went to the same school as my mam, outside South Bank railway station. Then myself, him and a 2 meter pole with a mic on the end of it went for a socially distanced walk along the black path, pausing at points to natter away.
Caught up in it all

Again taken on the expired AGFA Optima 125 ISO film, this one was a bit of fun with a “special effect filter” attached to the lens…
Joe’s wall art…
Working in the railway yard above The Black Path, Joseph Parkes would come to the pathway and the wall here to paint on his breaks and in his spare time.
The Black Path
Joe painted flying ducks, a swan, an owl, Roseberry Topping and a shark on the wall.
Those which remain are a swan, Stephen a reference to Joe’s grandson, and the flying ducks.
The Black Path
Though one is faded the others retain brilliant colour.
Joe passed away in 2003, but I would like to thank him for his art being one of the many things that brightens up a walk along The Black Path.
Plodding on…
This image ended up a little softer than I’d initially hoped.
But not without it’s charms.

Grating on me…
Under the bridge, which takes the railway line from the “Lackenby Grids” (steelworks sorting sidings) to the mainline which also runs under it, the tiles on the walls are not the only features…

These gaps in the railway side wall of the bridge covered in a rusted, filth encrusted grate leak a little light onto the pathway…

This inquisitive creature moves about the Black Path a bit.
He wanted to investigate my Minolta camera when it was on the tripod before I wandered up the path. This one was taken with the Welmy 35, using Ilford XP2 film.
