Early Autumn…
So, here we are again. Mid way through September and it’s just pretty unpleasant.The world’s weather seems to be going a bit strange and quite a lot of the world’s populous are following on!The rise of the (ultra) right wing is scary and racism, intolerance and neo-Fascism appears to be…

Fuji FP 100C and other stuff…
It’s been a bad week for those of us who shoot and love pack film, on our medium format cameras, with Fuji’s announcement of the discontinuation of Fuji FP100C.Ok, they’re a business and being in business means making a profit or not bothering to be in business!I have heard that…

November
Friday 13 November 2015 Yet another dark, dark day for humanity. People murdered, cold blooded, unreasoning, brutal. Horrific. I don’t really know what else to say, it’s just so heartbreaking that our species can behave in this way. Been a pretty busy month, although not quite as hectic as October……

Finding a different angle
When most of us wander around with a camera, we can be quite singular where we look and what we photograph.Our eyes face forward, anywhere between 1.5 and 2m off the ground (plus or minus!). Our field of view can sometimes be a bit narrow and limited: standing up, taking…

Fomapan
I’ve just taken delivery of 15 rolls of Fomapan 100 from Fotoimpex in Germany An excellent emporium for all analog shooters. Darkroom supplies, film, the lot! In fact all they sell is analog based. Good to see a purely analog shop in our digital age. I shot a couple of…

Sheona, Emilie, Marine
I do keep meaning to do my blog more often, but things tend to get in the way! Here’s a catch up from the last couple of weeks… The tilt/ shift capabilities of the Fuji GX680 for portraiture: although not as flexible as a large format camera, the GX680 does…

Fort de Queuleu, Metz
Had a bit of a wander around this amazing place today; it has a slightly checkered past in that it was used by the SS to torture and kill a number French Resistance fighters during WW2 Apart from that rather dark piece of history, it was one of the inner…

Film
Thanks to my assistant, Damien, I started shooting film again about 6 months ago. It’s costing me a small fortune but worth every penny (Euro?).As I can’t keep posting all my film work in my portfolio, I thought I’d start my blog again so that I have somewhere to show…
