THE ARTS TOWER - SHEFFIELD

November 08, 2016 by Brett Chapman

I’m really do adore my adopted city of Sheffield. It’s the only place I’ve ever lived that has really felt like home. I often feel a little lost in the world but not in Sheffield.

Most of my friends are still here, as are a great many of my memories and there’s something about the city that just fills me with ideas. It’s a small place but full of life and diversity. It’s the sort of city that welcomes people of all kinds and I love that.

The Arts Tower is a symbol in Sheffield - the tallest building and perhaps one of the ugliest, it still has a working paternoster lift and houses a huge amount of the student population's most creative folk.

It's visible from a huge amount of places in the city and if you're lost can be a good landmark to gather your bearings from. I love this little city and this huge ugly building.

SHEFFIELD AT NIGHT

October 23, 2016 by Brett Chapman

I love Sheffield. There is something about the city that has always made me feel at home here. I love it best, though, between October and December when the days get shorter and the leaves turn brown. That's the time of year that I think the city really comes alive and feel packed full of potential. 

Perhaps it's something to do with an industrial past but northern cities look most romantic when they're lit by streetlights and you can see your own breath. I made it a little project to try and capture some of the parts of the city that I see and adore at this time of year. Here are some of the results:
