Lovely evening down in my darkroom with some portraits of local shop owners, radio on, and a chilled Spaniel.

Just recorded another episode of #AlmostInFocusPodcast. This time Toby and I take a more serious turn and explore similarities in society today and in the 70s/80s and how they are documented. Should go live tomorrow at 5pm

I’m thinking ahead to going to see the table tennis championships in Wembley next month. I don’t normally use long lenses and wondering if I go Minolta and zoom telephoto, or pen ft. I’m leaning towards the pen with or without the 3x converter.

I can’t remember the last time I printed a digital photo—let alone hung one. Today I framed a darkroom print from last night and added it to the wall alongside: Janine Weidel, Lewis Bush, Gene Smith, Brendan Barry, Simon Roberts + more. This is how photography should be seen.

Really productive printing session this evening. This was the first one I have live-streamed to YouTube and although I lost connection near the end, it worked well and was good to have some new faces tune in for brief windows of time and ask questions.
Bring on the next one

Yes we know it’s Adox, but there is something very cool about putting Leica film in a 1950s Leica. And that packaging is lovely too!

Back from a week in the West Country. I bulk loaded a dozen canisters of 35mm and didn’t get anywhere near through all of them, but I did use my 4x5 more than I anticipated and looking forward to developing the results. Also used my Jaggle Tank and gifted the print to the tea rooms and gained 🍦

It’s always satisfying when you get the end of a bulk reel of 35mm. This should see me through the next few weeks.

There is no concept, no context, no depth. As a photograph with intent it is nothing.
But composition, lighting, tone, texture; It is pretty much spot on perfect.
