“A film a day keeps the doctor away” Day 14 On the drive home we stopped a roadside cafe for breakfast. It was a step into the 1970s of design but with modern food quality. Amazing. Had to grab my camera and photograph some of the interior

“A film a day keeps the doctor away” Day 1 (Saturday 28th) Studio portraits of my daughter and python on @ilfordphoto.com SFX200 - chosen for its heightened red sensitivity to relate to the python’s infrared heat sensing pits.

In essence my plan for the next 2 weeks off work: a film a day keeps the doctor away. Now that’s not to say I will rush through a roll of film every day - that would be expensive, but it is an intention to do something photographic every day. Today: photographing my python with Ilford SFX

I was made aware about shipping issues on my website for my new book. Think I have things now resolved - sorry e-commerce is a new world for me! If problems persist please get in touch and we can do a back transfer or PayPal for your order

New podcast episode out now - and now in video! Don’t forget to follow Almost In Focus on YouTube. youtu.be/8xwJxJcjcuk?...

It was great to be part of the photography show yesterday. I was completely blown away away by the amount of interest in my talk - full house and people sitting on the floor along the side! Also Toby and I did lots of interviews for next podcast episode (coming Wednesday). Thanks if you came by!

Look, I'm just sayin' 👀 From L-R: 🩵 Sure, why not, I'm game for anything 🤷‍♀️ 💙 Just in case I manage a spot of #FP4Party -ing ❤️ Destined to be roll 23 of my ongoing project ...& a hint to our good friends at AW that they need to get over here! #BelieveInFilm @ilfordphoto.com @harmanphoto.co.uk

So a book update. I was initially intending to distribute online via Amazon etc; but the amount of money that is added on for the consumer by the distribution system is ridiculous. To keep its price somewhere sensible, the book will be available from me directly & potentially some other suppliers.

Up and out the door not long after 6am, 3 hour drive to Wales, 2 hours photographing, 3 hour drive home, film processed

I am very excited for this week. For about 20 years I have wanted to go to a particular small village to see with my own eyes the location of my favourite photograph. This week I am doing it. Stay tuned to my Instagram and YouTube for updates on the trip and following darkroom sessions.

New video up on YouTube. youtu.be/Wb_YNXA0n1c?... Making of my print: Monstera

On and off for a while, I have been writing a book about darkroom printing. Aimed at first time printers and those who know the fundamentals and want to take their printing up a notch. “Light Paper Time” will hopefully be available by mid-March.

New episode of Almost in Focus now out. This time the theme is the photographs we don’t make… available at all the usual podcast places

Fantastic time photographic a new local festival based on a recently discovered legend about the town. Tmax400 in the yashica, and FPP films in the Voigtlander and a pot of earl grey along the way

The atmosphere of the darkroom is important. It has to…have room to move around in while working. And it must have music. I don't think I could ever stay in the darkroom without it. It has been my best concert place. It's also where I meditate. I do a lot of things in the darkroom all at once.

Just got this book today. It’s been on my wish list for years and managed to get a copy for £5! Only had a chance to skim through so far but it’s already got me super excited on things to try. I’ll never get to have a darkroom lesson from Gene Smith. This book is as close as it gets

So it’s been a rubbish week photographically as I have broken my hand. It’s amazing how many right handed jobs we actually use 2 hands for; Like buttering toast and setting up darkroom chemistry. It’s going to be a long winter

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

When I sent a set of images photographed at Calke Abbey to a friend on Instagram who loved this National Trust property I knew, they would have a greater “visual currency” to her than if she’d just swiped through them on social media. #believeinfilm #makeprints #SlowPhotography

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
