Well - everyone else seems to be doing a "wave your Knickers in the Air" thread, so - why shouldn't we...
I've really, REALLY not shot much film this year - in fact I've not shot enough anything... but I did manage to get a couple of rolls through my Bronica ETRSi a while ago...
My favourite frame was this one.

"The Heart Of Trees" 2007
"The Heart of Trees" consists of several seated self-portraits of the artist, cast in bronze, with his arms and legs wrapped around living trees. The artist's hope is that the trunks of the trees will eventually grow into the figures so each truly exists as one.
For Plensa, the body becomes a vessel for information, a surface on which to record words. The figures are inscribed with names of composers, such as Edward Elgar, Béla Bartók, and George Gershwin. By naming particular composers, the viewer's own memories of hearing songs are brought into the experience of the work, providing an interactive dimension to the sculptures, which are placed in a new context each time they are displayed.
Shot with my Bronica ETRSi on Kodak E100VS film, developed in Tetenal E6 Chemistry, and scanned on a Canoscan 8800F with Silverfast SE software.
So, there we are - my humble offering, now I can sit back and watch all the people with skill and talent post something decent
