It took me 45 years (to the day) but I finally took my first self-portrait. Not the sharpest, but I'll take it. (You can tell I was concentrating hard on shifting backwards and forwards to try and get it in focus. 😆)

"Taking her portrait and parading it as art is exploitation; using her to sell a masterclass is disgraceful and Leica should be ashamed."

I've been pushing myself to shoot portraits when I'm out in the forest. I limit myself to two frames per person and then hope that at least one of them comes out well. OM10 and Fomapan 400. #filmphotography #portraits

Finished a roll of film on a Vivitar IC 101 that I started back in 2010. Not the easiest scans to work with. 😆 #filmphotography

If Fuji's teaser proves to be a half-frame digital camera with a vertical sensor, I'd just like to say that I predicted it five years ago. #photographers

I was wary of pushing cheap ISO400 film to 800 but it's proven effective. The grain is obviously a bit insane but with the Olympus XA, I seem to be able to shoot in pretty much any light and get decent results. The XA becomes very versatile as an EDC which is exactly what I was hoping for.

Roll 025. Olympus XA + Fomapan 400 pushed to 800. Feels like the perfect EDC.
