Trafalgar day shoot

This morning, I had the pleasure of shooting three works of art by Jamie Limond with a view to using one or more of these images to promote the forthcoming Prettys Trafalgar Art Show by students at UCS. I saw this work in the last semester of  2011/12 academic year and instantly knew that I […]

Inspiration kicks in – Genesis Suffolk Style

So far this term, all 3 weeks of it, I have been struggling to juggle my balls and spin my plates. I always knew that this year would be the hardest academically speaking but somehow the sheer scale and also the dependency on other people to deliver products on time and to budget in an […]

Medium format Bronica SQAi

I do not use this camera as often as I should. The results in this post speak volumes for both Kodak Portra 400 and the stunningly sharp lenses. The 50mm wide angle is about as sharp as it gets.   These two images shot on Portra 400 look so different to the large format images […]

Latest Large format landscape & portraits out of the can

The technician at UCS had a busy Wednesday last week whilst I was attending the Agile Business Conference in London. I had queued up 22 5×4 negatives plus countless rolls of 220, 120  and 35mm films over the last month and it has taken a weekend interspersed with research work to process them. Some of […]

Later than promised but I have had to catch up on research papers this weekend plus throw in a bit of diverticulitis and blogging comes off second best.

Agile Business Conference Day 1 2013

Stephen Carver opened the conference with an entertaining introductory session that really told that agile ways of working and more importantly behaving, have been with us for many years.

It was 40 years ago today…..

Scary moment this morning. My mind wandered back to this day 40 years ago when I set off to full time employment as a very junior Civil Servant ostensibly to while away a year being paid whilst I re-sat my failed A-levels. The world was such a different place in those days. Liverpool was still […]

Adox CHS Art 50 + new version of MOD54 insert

I spent the middle of the day yesterday shooting Adox CHS Art 50 large format film primarily to release the dark slides for some other work.  These were processed in Rodinal at 1:25 using the latest iteration of the MOD54 insert. I know that the film is a tad distressed as this batch has always […]
