I managed to sneak into London yesterday(doing some event photography for a friend) and also made it to the Jennie Baptiste show in Somerset house. Music photography, portraiture and documentary photography, but also both colour and B&W darkroom work. Highly recommend

Since we are coming up on long evenings, we are entering the darkroom portion of the year. Finally standardised on one set of enlarging lenses for everything, covering the entire range of negatives from half frame to 6x9

Because I can't help but be curious, 2 rolls each of Noir 100 and 200 film for the medium format cameras.
Noir is a house label of British film respooler "ThisishowIRoll" and is very, very likely Svema film

I have just been to see this, and it is a solidly impressive body of work, worth a visit.
More impressively, the majority of the B&W prints are labelled "hand printed by the artist"

The test rolls have arrived! Looking forward to seeing how well they do. I'm generally a fan of the Kentmere films, so I expect I'll be happy with what I get from them

Notting hill Carnival weekend is upon us. Last year I shot 7 rolls of 35mm film and 1 roll of 120. I am hoping to match my record, give myself some proper darkroom work for when winter hits
