That moment when, whilst out walking one’s parents’ dog of a Sunday morning, you find yourself openly weeping because a fascinating and accomplished person younger than yourself has chosen the Overture from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves on Desert Island Discs. #middleaged #oldnow #randomtears

The ferry that runs between Inversnaid and Tarbet on Loch Lomond, captured on medium format film with my Hasselblad 500c #mediumformat #film #ilford #hp5 #hasselblad #500c #mono

This fine chap was waiting for the ferry to Tarbet at Inversnaid Pier when I went down there with my new/old Hasselblad 500c loaded up with its first roll of film under my stewardship. I can’t remember his name, alas, but he was from Mexico and his travelling companion was from Hungary #mediumformat

The Royal Mail Post Box at Stronachlachar on the shores of Loch Katrine. I have photographed it many times with different cameras and in different conditions, but this is the first time that I photographed it with a Medium Format film camera. #mediumformat #hasselblad500c #mono #film #XP2

Another photograph from my first 2 rolls through my new (to me) Hasselblad 500c. This is the beautiful, Victorian railing at the end of Stronachlachar Pier, with Factor’s Isle and the open loch in the background. #mediumformat #film #hasselblad #mono #monochrome

This is a photo I took recently with my new / old medium format film camera - my Hasselblad 500c. The scan was done by the lab, but hopefully I will be doing my own scans soon. #mediumformat #film #newoldcamera #photography #photo #landscape #loch

My dear Chum and Accomplice @chiaramaccallphoto.bsky.social taking a quick phone shot of one of the Angels on The Bridge of Angels in Rome, thus continuing my decades long metaphotography project of photographs of her taking photographs. #chum #friend #foundfamily #roma #cittaeterna #rome #travel

I was recently in Rome, and had the opportunity to take this image on The Bridge of Angels - what a sky! #cittaeterna #roma

Sometimes I get to see especially rare things and this is one of them - the view from a dear friend’s aunt’s apartment in Rome.

I love this time of year when the snow comes on the high ground and does not leave… #alba #scotland #glenliving

I wandered out at lunchtime with my camera to get a “character portrait” of the ruined building next to my house. It had been a beautiful, crisp, Winter’s day here today 😊 ❄️🏔️ #photolife #monochrome #mono #black&white #glenliving #alba #scotland

My photography is being featured in a book that has launched on Kickstarter today. The book is a collection of artistic nude photography, so it's potentially NSFW, though the Kickstarter is appropriately censored. Here's the link the project -> www.kickstarter.com/projects/min...

My view yesterday evening when I chose to have a garden chill before the Euros final - I am so amazingly lucky 😊 #glenliving
