My Happy Place

Analogue photography offers a uniquely satisfying, hands-on experience. Unlike the instant nature of digital, it demands intention, loading film, setting exposure, and developing in the darkroom.

Careful about Energizer batteries on Amazon! This one almost damaged a favourite camera. It’s a counterfeit.

Time and nature take the wheel—moss and rust reclaim an old spoked rim, long retired to the forest floor.

In my studio restoring a Pentax K1000, I reached for the fisheye lens. Its wide, distorted view captured not just me, but the tools, atmosphere, and energy of the space—a moment that reflects my passion for film cameras and the hands-on work of keeping them alive.
