Contact prints, mounted and framed in reconditioned frames. Perfect for walls with little space.

Winter is the best season for street sketching 🍂

What I like about this test strip is how close it is to where I want the final image to be. I’m going with the far left (Grade #0) before some Grade #5 to burn in some blacks to lift and add punch.

Walked around most of today, camera sling over my shoulder. But a single shot fired. Still, managed to pick up a copy of Graham Greene’s The Quiet American with the Hogarth cover.

My favourite lorry. Thick blue paint on the cabin, hand painted graphics on the sides. I keep coming back here to test film, cameras under all weather conditions.

Fresh prints starting to emerge in the darkroom from my latest shoot with musician & rapper Sharifa. Theres a wide range to choose from the contacts. Rich blacks & creamy whites are printing well with little trial & error. It’s an exciting time!

Sold a print!
Buying art, in any form, gives a huge boost to the artist. Buy art! It benefits both parties.

Another tricky print in the darkroom but I think I’m almost there.

Had the pleasure of attending a talk by photographer Craig Easton last night @orielcolwyn.bsky.social Previews of new & unseen work. Very inspiring! Even managed to grab a quick chat & a copy of Bank Top. Thank you Craig & Oriel.

On the street and in the darkroom. That there bingo entrance is boarded up now. Steps hidden away. Shame. Dread to think what will become of it.

The more I shoot the more harshly selective I have become. Not just with the final image I want yo achieve but with whom I approach for a photo.

Today was typewriter stories day in my ENGL101 classes, so I rolled 19 typewriters out into the student lounge, and students wrote round-robin stories on machines ranging from the 1940s-1980s. What a racket! They had a blast. ENGL102 will have their turn in a couple of weeks.

This week I am posting just one photo for Friday Faces. A new portrait taken on my first trip to Derby. This side street, more of an alleyway really, had lots of potential with the flat light. The walls on both sides are textured, weathered, battered and scraped from years of retail deliveries.
