Snappy New Year

A New Years’ break in a favoured haunt in Conwy allowed the opportunity to wander around the town with A & this very lunchtime capture for posterity an image of a previously-encountered & favourite example of signage, with which it’s always a pleasure to be reacquainted, that hand-drawn effort advertising the premises where the Conwy Camera Club convenes.


There’s just something rather endearing about the exaggerated gap between the ‘m’ & the ‘e’ of the rendering of the word ‘camera’, created by the modular nature of the sign’s construction.


Also to be observed during the course of the perambulations, considering things modular, were a couple of fine examples of chequered design, the first, in relief, upon the cast iron dividers to be found between paving slabs, themselves displaying textural incident,


& then another, with added time-worn scratched detail upon its surface, forming a deep wooden windowsill at a barber’s shop.
