So it’s been a rubbish week photographically as I have broken my hand. It’s amazing how many right handed jobs we actually use 2 hands for; Like buttering toast and setting up darkroom chemistry. It’s going to be a long winter

Lovely evening down in my darkroom with some portraits of local shop owners, radio on, and a chilled Spaniel.

When I sent a set of images photographed at Calke Abbey to a friend on Instagram who loved this National Trust property I knew, they would have a greater “visual currency” to her than if she’d just swiped through them on social media.

Just recorded another episode of #AlmostInFocusPodcast. This time Toby and I take a more serious turn and explore similarities in society today and in the 70s/80s and how they are documented. Should go live tomorrow at 5pm

It’s only been a day since Toby and I started our first podcast and the feedback we have had in various forms has been so positive. However Tim’s here is perhaps my favourite
Listening to this discussion touch on film negatives and authenticity…it hit me that Westerns blots have always been ground zero for fake images, and AI really democratizes access to that.
I wonder whether a film cassette could return as the gold standard when auditability&integrity are paramount.

I’m thinking ahead to going to see the table tennis championships in Wembley next month. I don’t normally use long lenses and wondering if I go Minolta and zoom telephoto, or pen ft. I’m leaning towards the pen with or without the 3x converter.

This months darkroom livestream is on Thursday. It’s kind of snuck up on me! As work has been so busy these last few weeks I’m wondering what to print, maybe it’s time to revisit an old project 🤔🎞️

What made you want to try half-frame, and what was your first half-frame camera? I first ready about the Pen F when I was at uni and loved the design, eventually it happened and it fast became one …

I can’t remember the last time I printed a digital photo—let alone hung one. Today I framed a darkroom print from last night and added it to the wall alongside: Janine Weidel, Lewis Bush, Gene Smith, Brendan Barry, Simon Roberts + more. This is how photography should be seen.

Really productive printing session this evening. This was the first one I have live-streamed to YouTube and although I lost connection near the end, it worked well and was good to have some new faces tune in for brief windows of time and ask questions.

Yes we know it’s Adox, but there is something very cool about putting Leica film in a 1950s Leica. And that packaging is lovely too!
