This week on the show, Nitrate Fox talks creative process, book making and ether sickness. It was a new one for me too 😂 an amazing conversation, I hope you all enjoy it. #photographer

This week on the podcast I was delighted to welcome the brilliant Jasper Fforde to the podcast. He’s one of my favourite authors so it was a real treat to talk cameras with him. #photography

You’re really far too kind, Mr Tom. I am in fact a dreadful monster of a man 😂🥳🫶

Fun quick blog post about the Apple Crossbody strap which makes a neat camera strap if you have a small camera like the RX100, mGRIII, X-Half or digicam like the G7x. #photography

Morning! I created some Roswell Time for a blog post, inspired by @simonsinek.bsky.social and @ellecordova.bsky.social. I think we have to make that term stick! :D #creativity #boredom

Happy Sunday everyone. Please enjoy another episode, this time with Gaston Shutters on his love of photography, his entrepreneurial streak and making great quality accessories in the USA. This was a fun talk. #photography

I’m excited for the @theverge.com summer podcast lineup but @reckless.bsky.social has secretly told me what he really thinks 😅

Right? I do wonder how much I could get done with a little Atom like this. I have a Surface Laptop Go from 2020 with 16GB and it’s just enough computer and has a lovely keyboard. Bought used for less than $200

@davidpierce.xyz I know you say you want a pink laptop, but what about an orange one?

Hello friends! Happy Sunday. Please enjoy this delightful conversation with Summer Murdock for this show this week. It’s a great conversation about photography and creativity.

I returned to my Animal Crossing Island for the first time in about 18 months today and within seconds I had been asked to help with a photoshoot xD How does the game know?!

This is my favourite photo in @craigmod.com new book Things Become Other Things. It's a great read and filled with wonderful images but this one stood out to me.

I'm indulging in books these days. I love e-readers but photo books are much nicer in print.

The other day my friend @daveherring.bsky.social made a brilliant video about a lens I adore. I may have inadvertently forced him to 😅

It was close by, another light manufacturer. The show was small, but dense 😅 next year I dream of hosting a live podcast or two. Maybe get some of the models involved. Did you see these two at Fuji?
