Analogue and digital photography imposter. When not making images, I play guitar, listen to music, or watch arthouse movies. The GP logo is from my soon-to-be real photography web site, GravuraPhoto.net
Finally allowed to hang one of my framed photos in the new kitchen. But which one?!

Ok #BelieveInFilm friends… how to shoot these out-of-date films, and instruct the lab on development?! They were in the barn find box along with the Mamiya RZ67, so not stored in a fridge/freezer 😞

A friend has had this (along with loads of other gear) sitting in his barn for years. Now I have a bit of a steep learning curve 😉

Some rather tasty colour images taken on the same day as my mono ones. These are from the Pentax 17, on Ultramax.
