Zof and Bolo. OM10 + Fomapan 400. #filmphotography

If it's on film, it's more special. Simply because when I shoot on film, I'm only shooting for me. #filmphotography

The Vivitar IC 101 has got to be one of the daftest cameras ever made. That's probably why it's so much fun. #filmphotography

This is proving a fun challenge: Olympus OM10 + Fomapan. In the forest. Two frames max. Very little experience of shooting portraits. #filmphotography

Went skiing. Took a film camera. Olympus XA + Fomapan 400 pushed to 800. #filmphotography

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after. It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

“Grok has responded to some users on X explaining its actions.” Once again, the BBC using Grok’s responses as some sort of spokesperson. The journalism is almost as irresponsible as the actual platform itself

Stumbled upon a caravan in Eisenach with an old Democratic Republic of Germany sticker. (Olympus XA, Fomapan 400 pushed to 800.) #filmphotography #fomapan

Extremely exciting news that the brilliant @olimould.bsky.social’s new book Post-capitalist Cities is OFFICIALLY OUT & ready to purchase! I just put in my order - I recommend you do the same! 🤓🤓🤓

Oof.

Dog walk. EOS 5. Kodak something. #filmphotography

Snow day. (A few weeks ago.) #filmphotography #snow

The first frame of every roll out of my Olympus XA has something magical about it. This transition from not being into being. It's like it's saying, "36 frames of adventure starts here. Enjoy." #filmphotography

I still get emails from SuperRare, and it's incredible to think that NFTs are still a thing. The latest email was flogging a PDF of their 2025 highlights which you can read here. Who buys this? annual.24hours.art/2025

I'm serious. While the sprawling and staggering Russian component here needs to be thoroughly aired, people need to remember that when the FBI raided Epstein's properties they did not find a fake Russian passport in his most secret safe, but a Saudi one.

Sacre bleu

One of the problems with shooting film on multiple cameras is that I seem to publish photos one season behind. #filmphotography

There are very few academic articles about climbing buildings, but I wrote one of them and writing it was a lot of fun. www.journalpublicspace.org/index.php/jp...

Been a while. Bits from the XA on Fomapan. #filmphotography

Alongside the word of the year we should have “the word that has lost the most of its meaning this year”. I nominate “ceasefire”.

A couple of photos from the beginning my walk last Sunday. These are both in the area between Ginza and Shintomicho. Have a client in the neighbourhood so I see it often but don't really get chance to simply float around and photograph it. Hasselblad 503CW, CFV50c back & Zeiss-Sonnar 80mm f/2.8

I hear the Epstein Ballroom will be illuminated solely by gaslighting.

Home. #filmphotography

Question for film photographers. Are these stains from drying? Do I need to have a word with the lab? #filmphotography

It took me 45 years (to the day) but I finally took my first self-portrait. Not the sharpest, but I'll take it. (You can tell I was concentrating hard on shifting backwards and forwards to try and get it in focus. 😆)

Some fantastic photos here. If you need some inspiration to pick up your camera, take a look. www.analogsparksawards.com/winner/

This is a frustrating conversation. fstoppers.com/opinion/woul...

Personally I'd like 'work' to get me closer to the subject via the 'artist' not distance me from them. I have strong feelings about exploitative work by photographers. I wonder how many prospective masterclass attendees realise they too are being exploited...

"Taking her portrait and parading it as art is exploitation; using her to sell a masterclass is disgraceful and Leica should be ashamed."

Hard to explain.

Took me more than 15 years to get through the roll of film in this weird Vivitar IC 101. What a treat. #filmphotography thisisandyday.substack.com/p/finishing-...
