British Museum

A trip to the British Museum a few years ago.
This time with the Olympus OM1n with the super sharp Zuiko 28mm lens

Three Random Images

These have absolutely nothing in common save for the fact they were all shot using the Polaroid 103 and Fuji 100c peel apart film.
The Album playing on the Rega is Erpland by Ozric Tentacles...if you are interested...the phone boxes are at Hopwood Park Services on the M42 South of Birmingham and the Alloy Wheel Garage is in Great Yarmouth.

More Archive Stuff - Woodbridge, Suffolk

At the time I shot this I was using pretty much exclusively, my Olympus OM1, usuall with the 28mm Zuiko Lens. It's still a combination that's hard to beat.
A low viewpoint coupled with a red filter to enhance the contrast has helped with the drama.

From the Archives

James was a baby in the pram when we went to the Orsett Show in Essex, in those days I shot exclusively on my Olympus OM1n camera, still a favourite and those Zuiko Lenses are so crisp.
This old man was driving a traction engine and had leasnt out of his window to chat with a mate.

More from the "Home town"

Another weekend....another trip to Great Yarmouth.....Found a new model to photograph although she hardly stopped giggling...I wanted her to look m"Mournfully into the distance".....

Saw the heads in a little shop in the town centre, hand held the Polaroid 103 and very pleased with the odd result.

Caister On Sea - Blurry Sea Cliche

OK, so slow exposures, water looking like smoke engulfing water soaked rocks.....yeah it's all been done before...still like it though.

Media City and The Lowry Centre

Not much more to say other than the beautiful combo of the Polaroid 103 Land Camera and Fuji 100b peel apart film.......

Salford Quays #2

I was fascinated by the modern architecture sprouting out of the ground in Salford Quays. The Imperial War Museum's award winning building was conceived by Daniel Libeskind and is based on a globe shattered by conflict into 3 pieces or shards.
Fuji 100b instant film has now been discontinued but I have a few packs in the fridge....ready for New York in the Summer

Salford Quays, Manchester

First of a number of images made whilst wandering around the wonderful Salford Quays. It's where Media City is rising up like a phoenix. They are even building a new coronation street there.
A great Birthday weekend.

Polaroid 103 Automatic Land Camera, Fuji 100c and Fuji 100b (getting hard to find at a reasonable price)

Fenland Project revisited

Wheeled out the Bronica ETRSi medium format camera for this image shot just outside Ramsey. Ilford HP5 developed in Prescysol, a staining developer. Printed in my darkroom onto Ilford Multigrade paper.
The menacing mood of the place and the landscape comes over rather well I think.

Buddies USA

Can't wait to get to the States to see and photograph some American Diners (proper).
A good reason to keep a camera with you at all times, suddenly you see trends emerging, being drawn to particular subjects.
