She's always in her headphones
She's moving in her space
Positiving filters essential to just get by
And I seen her when she's smiling
And floating down the street
Seriously upbeat avoiding it makes me think
And Sorry is simply a word And I'm so tired
There are no retractions enough to save our souls...
Of all the times I acted To try to please myself
Disregarding others' potential to be themselves
I wish I had been stronger But regrets count for shit
This is not some long shot confession that puts things right
And Sorry is simply a word And I'm so tired
There are no retractions enough to save our souls...
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...
I used to leave her flowers (Green Eyes)
I used to leave her books (Emily Dickinson)
I used to leave her images of photographs I took thinking about her
I did it with intention (Green Eyes)
I did it with a fear (Sunflower insomnia)
I did it just in case I was not missing the moment
And Sorry is simply a word And I'm so tired
There are no re-actions enough to justify my love
I never meant to make you feel uncomfortably unsure (Green Eyes)
I never meant to make you feel at all, at all apprehensive
I wish I had been stronger But regrets they count for shit
This is not some long shot confession that puts things right...

"I Miss you, and Have Taken to Walking With my Camera”
Street Photography 2021-2024
by Andrew Mills
This was until January 7th 2025
Thirty A3 prints of digitalised analogue film.
Andrew Mills uses vintage 35 and 120mm film cameras to document quotidien, performative, urban experiences witnessed when walking through Leeds City Centre.
These images, inspired by the photographers Vivian Maier, and Diane Arbus were shot on, and around Leeds Briggate between 2021 and 2024.
Andrew uses various cameras, including a 1940s Kodak Box Brownie, 1979 Olympus OM1, 1960 Leica M2, and a 1956 Rolleiflex 2.8e.
All photographs were shot on Ilford HP5+ and developed in a home-made, kitchen-based, dark-room.
These black and white film images were digitalised and then colourised by Aito create a veneer of noise between the real-time vibrancy ofcreative street-performance and what you, the viewer, see here in this bar.
With thanks to The North Bar, and Imo Dunkley, for their support with curation of this project.
