Spent a day down in Galilee this week, Narragansett, Rhode Island. Loaded a roll of ilfordpanf50 into the Hassey and put on a yellow filter and did some walking on this very warm day. Couldn’t wait to get home and develop this roll … I don’t know if it was me or the roll… but…
Arriving in Barcelona for Revela-T 2017, I had little idea of what to expect. It is an incredibly long 28 hours by plane from Australia. The day after landing we headed out to Vilassar de Dalt early in the morning to hang the photos I was exhibiting at the Cal Garbat. Of course we got…
“The fool who is aware of his foolishness is therefore like a wise man. But a fool who thinks he is wise is called a fool indeed. A fool who, as long as he lives, attends to a wise man, he doesn’t know the doctrine, as the spoon doesn’t know the soup’s flavour. If a…
“Flowers laugh without uttering a sound. Roosters cry without shedding a tear. Examining the ages reveals that good deeds are as rare as flowers among rocky peaks while evil acts are as plentiful as the grass on fertile hills” – Kyokai “High peaks and lofty crags are where the wise dwell. Green pines and deep…
Time drops by with remembrances of moments skimming the surface of consciousness from deep within the mind leaving signs of a world beyond. The passage of time touches the world leaving marks such as deep erosion in cliffs, stratification of geological layers, and the presence of fossils from distant ages. A branch broken and dying…
A few hundred kilometers south along the coast the ocean gets a little icier with deep cold currents from Antarctica, and along with golden rocks and beaches, the colour of the sea changes to a beautiful sapphire green. Sitting between Bermagui and Tathra, lies the Mimosa Rocks National Park named after a vessel that was…
Just before Christmas I picked up a Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm f2.4 in M42 mount which I had heard very good reports about. I have a few old M42 mount cameras and decided to test it with my trusty Praktica MTL 5B and some expired Kodak Colorplus. It was a pretty cold day but clear skies…
Another year arrived, and I suddenly found myself shooting 120 film, and bulk rolling 35mm. I determined that it was an unconscious sign, like the purple dawn greeting me on the Myall River, and that I needed to return to 52rolls once more. Seasons come and go, years drift by, but our political fate seems…
This week I went out with the Holga loaded with a roll of Fuji Pro400h. I was short on time and had less then 30mins to take some photos, get some lunch and head back to the office. Thus I though I would challenge my self to get 12 hopefully interesting images not only in…
Another roll shot here in the South Wales Valleys in the fog that seemed to hang around forever. This time I used my trusty Nikon F100 this the Nikkor 24-85 vr and some long expired Fuji Superia 400. I have about 15 or so rolls of expired Superia 100/400 mix that I was gifted and…
So here we are, at the finish line again, it was a rocky year, much more than my past several projects, well 400TX:365 had a full switch out of a camera, as did 52:320TXP, but I almost stopped this project, like full stop, end of line. I also made a point each week I would…
So for this week I shot a roll of Kodak Portra 400 BW in the Holga. That’s right Portra but in Black & White a relatively rare discontinued film. I shot this during a lunchtime walk from the office to get a sandwich, I thought I would document what I saw on the way, they…
