An older couple fishing together off Fishermen’s Beach Hythe, Kent, England. Happy together and happy to pose.
Rollei 400Rpx
Yashica 124g
Older married couple. The wife stands to the left of the husband. She’s a foot smaller. They are beach fishing and pose in front of their rods. Both dressed in loose but warm comfortable clothing, the man is wearing fishermen’s bibbed overalls. The lady wears a Willy hat but he has his bald head bare. They hold hands and smile at the camera. The beach is a shingle one. It’s an overcast sky about an hour before sunset. A monochrome photo taken with a TLR camera onto Rollei 400RPX film.

A monochrome photo taken on 120film and Yashica 124g TLR. Illford HP5. The subject is the geometric patterns of the modern roofing and organic nature of the way it grows from the ground and spreads out. Saint Pancras Train Station, London, England.

I do love the patience needed to take photos on film. The restrictions on number of frames per roll, the anticipation in your wait for the developed image. I only develop and then go digital with a scanner.
Here’s a study from the Old High Street, Folkestone. #photography

A photo of a shop selling vintage clothing on the Old High Street Folkestone. Taken from other side of a narrow steep street - Ben’s Vintage Menswear. An older gentleman is walking past wearing a flat cap, raincoat and baggy trousers. He has a tote bag slung across his body and has both hands behind him holding another shopping bag. He is glancing at the shop’s display of ski related items. A black and white photo taken on film using a 35mm camera.

Working my way through James Baldwin’s novels.
I wish the American literature taught to me back in the sixties included this gifted writer and thinker.

James Baldwin
Portrait in black and white of James Baldwin. He’s seated at a study table With his head, being supported on the right hand side by his right hand elbow to the table. His left arm is crossed in front of him with his watch facing forwards. he has a cigarette in his right hand as well. The backdrop is books on shelving, so he is either in a library, or his study area or even a bookshop picture was probably taken in the 60s.
