Hosting the Lensless & Lo-Fi Podcast and an incurable analogue dreamer.
Posting photo and darkroom thoughts and images whilst avoiding political discussions best held elsewhere (read this last part before following me)

Fenland is my home and muse.
Pinned
The Fenland of Cambridgeshire is my photographic “backyard” -a place of wide open landscape broken by drains, droves and lines. The rich black peat , slowly eroding contrasts against constantly changing light.

Using pinhole, polaroid and Holga cameras I try to capture the still beauty of the place.
The language of photography casually thrown around “shooting” “taking” & more recently “capturing” all leave me with a sense of unease - I’m probably over thinking it as the terms are used freely, often and with no negative intention.

A Friday evening thought

Whilst the political situation in the USA and my immobility keeps me from visiting a wonderful country - reading January digital “Frames” magazine keeps me inspired - the wonderful work of Brian Lav

Back in the colour darkroom fine tuning some Kodak Gold derived prints.
My Cousin lost her lovely , gentle Husband a few years back. How he loved that garden that backed onto one of the Norfolk Broads.
These two Rolleiflex images mean a lot.

Anyone else started watching “Small Prophets” ?
After coming late to the Detectorists (best find in 2025) , small prophets has the same gentle humour with a brilliant cast - isnt Michael Palin great - and a layered plot…

Watching “I am Martin Parr” on BBC iPlayer - if you are able to access it give it a watch. Some interesting commentary from him and others, he was often degraded by lazy commentary by photo snobs who thought they knew the man.
It’s easy to be lazy and repeat tropes.

This morning in the land of the retired I have mostly been listening to Art Farmer on Spotify and dreaming of summer fenland days with Edward Storey…..

Some lovely work here - as a film photographer and printer it’s wonderful to get inspiring all sources.
A (slightly belated) happy new year! Allow me to introduce myself to those of you unfamiliar with my work; I’m Lee, I’m a painter from England, I’m a fan of abandoned buildings, moody narratives and quiet, mildly foreboding landscapes.

Been looking at photos on my Flickr site that I will reactive sometime soon as it remains the best place for viewing photos.
When we first went to Vietnam I was heavily into home wound redscale.
I had it loaded in my Trip35

I’m re filing negatives from 1985 and found some that were clearly not fixed properly- a minute in some fresh fixer and they cleared nicely - after all these years…..

Now I’m hanging years of slides - many are in carousels but these aren’t

Been matching up contact sheets to negatives from the 80s
Found these snaps of me on top of a steel tower (pylon if you insist) outside of Sizewell A power station where I trained.
No risk assessments and I are my lunch up there

London and Paris Eurostar security staff to be commended for their friendliness and willingness to hand check film.
They don’t have CT scanners but still happy to oblige (get there early helps).
Trouble is you go into museums and they all have X-ray machines too .

Was last here at Montmartre Cemetery before Covid and made a series of lith prints from the Double X negs
Nice to revisit and finish my roll of HP5 before heading home .
