Shoebox — Work by Giles Turnbull

I have a habit of using old shoeboxes to keep things in. Old photos, bits of paper, odds-and-ends that don’t have another place to live.

This is my digital shoebox: a bit of website where for the odds-and-ends. I put things here so that I can delete them from other places.

• Sweet Film, an album of photos made using Sweet Film for iOS; I thought about using it for a project, but I never did
• An archive of my Twitter account, 2006-2023. RIP.
• Designs for greetings cards
• Anti-growth coalition
• Breathing is an exchange of gases
