Methodist minister, scout leader, analogue photography wannabe. Occasional zine maker. Proud founder-member of the Photozine Collective.
I've had my fill of arguing with strangers on the internet so I'm keeping this space conflict free.

I seem to have dropped out of all my socials. Not on purpose, or for any reason that I know of. But what better way to let the word know I'm still alive than sharing the interview I had with @jimallthetime.bsky.social He's a fine fellow, and good fun to chat with open.substack.com/pub/jimallth...

Those extreme groups waving flags bearing the St George's Cross at anti-migrant protests today would do well to remember that they wave the cross of Christ, himself a refugee, who said much about caring for the stranger in our midst. We need proper debate about this issue, not stoking fear & hate.

A blog post about my tinkering with a #RaspberryPi Zero. Written with tongue in cheek, so it's not to be taken entirely seriously. (It's all true, though!)

I've completed a test roll in my recently acquired Olympus Pen D. It's hanging up to dry as we speak. There won't be any great pictures, but I'm pleased to say there are pictures. Evenly spaced on the roll, too. So that's a win. #believeinfilm

At Hall Towers, I've been having fun with Raspberry Pi devices in various guises lately alongside testing ways of not being quite so tightly gripped by Google. Here's a very bad photo of a 'proof of concept' setup)...

A question not entirely unrelated to my last one about half-frame cameras: what experience do you have of buying from Japanese sellers on the auction site?
Film friends: I want to get into half frame. I've got a Chaika, which I want to love but don't, and an Agfa-badged plastic-fantastic similar to the H35, but I want something better quality. I'm torn between Pen F and Pentax 17. I'd be interested in gathering the collective wisdom. #believeinfilm

2 lovely prints just dropped through my letterbox from the splendid @daveinelland.bsky.social, a result of the "Postcards from afar" exchange organised by @craftymoni.bsky.social (to whom go bigly thanks!)

We all have to take responsibility for reducing CO2 emissions. Of course we do. But what is the point of guilt-tripping "ordinary" folk about the flight they take on their annual holiday to Europe or the Canaries...
