Pimped my Canon VT. #blackandwhite #analogue #35mm #canon #rangefinder #canon_vt

Baking hot here in sunny Switzerland, so, I took refuge in a second hand bookstore and came away with these two gems. #helmut_newton #werner_bischof #analogue #analog #blackandwhite #swiss #photography #books #schweiz #bern

Whilst waiting in my car, I spotted this giant floating cat outside! #cat #cats #moggy #floating #optical_illusion #swiss #switzerland #pixelphone

I love photography. When I'm in "the zone", time seems to stand still. I've been at it since 1979 and am lucky enough to still be passionate about it. #photography #longexposure #Bern #swiss #switzerland #photographer #canon #billingham

Another blast from the past! Stuttgart in the early eighties. I call it "Punk on a roof. This was probably taken with a Canon F1 and a 35mm f2,8. #streetphotography #blackandwhite #kodaktrix #photography #canonF1 #stuttgart #germany #punk #punkrock

Don't forget to keep your energy up when on a long photoshoot! #studio #photography #cupcake #canon #friday_foto_fun

Say hello to my little friend! I'm more excited than I have been for a long time about this beautiful 1957 Canon vt. I cannot wait to load it up and take some photographs with it. #canonvt #canon_vt #1956 #35mm #photography #collector #japan #streetphotography

I spent a lot of time hanging around this statue. This was taken in Stuttgart in about 1981. I was a photographer for the US army. This was taken with a Canon F1 and a 35mm f2,8. "Denkpartner" by Hans Jörg Limbach #streetphotography #blackandwhite #kodaktrix #photography #canonF1 #statue #germany

Taking advantage of the rare sunshine last week, I took a stroll through Solothurn which is the finest preserved Baroque style city in Switzerland. #solothurn #schweiz #suisse #photography #bluesky #baroque

Still on the nostalgic "looking back" thing. This was taken in Stuttgart in about 1981. I was a photographer for the US army. This was taken with a Canon F1 and a 35mm f2,8. "Denkpartner" by Hans Jörg Limbach #streetphotography #blackandwhite #kodaktrix #photography #canonF1 #statue #germany

Currently going through my black and white negs from the 70's until the 90's. Here's a pic I took on the Isle of Wight in the early eighties. Probably used a Chinon Cm-3 for it. The lens would have been a 50 or 35mm. #streetphotography #blackandwhite #kodaktrix #photography #punk #punkrocker

T'was a rainy night in Basel, Switzerland. #colours #switzerland #nighttime #rain #saturated

Books and photography. What's not to like! #bookcabinets #switzerland #freebooks #photography

Listening to this, at a quiet volume, on a loop. So relaxing!

I took this pic on the London underground escalator. I was going down and they were going up. I held my camera so that it was the same angle as the escalator! :D #london #uk #tube #escalator #angles #fun

I was gifted another #Contax camera last Friday as a thank you for fixing someone's ancient laptop. I now have a Contax 2 and 2a. Gonna have to buy more film! #contax2 #thankful #vintage #camera #photography

Felt the urge to shoot at the local #XMAS market yesterday in #Olten. One camera and one prime lens. #swiss #schweiz #fujifilm #x-e2 #suisse #blackandwhite #14mm

A couple of months ago, someone gifted me two Leica cameras. Yesterday, I did someone a favour and he insisted that I have this Contax II camera and actinic light meter. That was after I told him that he could probably flog it for a tidy sum himself! #analogue #35mm #contax #contaxII #photography

Apart from Spring, Autumn is my favourite photographic time! I took these last Friday in #balsthal, #Switzerland. #swiss #herbst #autumn #schweiz #wideangle #contrejour

Dammit! First time since I started in photography in 1979 that my tripod has toppled over and wrenched a lens off the front of my camera. Good job. I had the equivalent Canon lens and body in the boot of my car as a backup. #fujinon #fujifilm #be_prepared #backup #canon #ouch

Photograhed the cows in my village during the Summer. Last night, I decided to give them the #blackandwhite treatment. #monochrome #cows #countryside #moo_cows #haegendorf #switzerland #suisse #schweiz #sommer2025 #summer

Took a trip to the #giessbachfaslle (Giessbach falls). Splendid #autumn colours and 14 #waterfalls! Well worth a trip. #Canon #6d #EF24-105 #scenic #swiss #switzerland #suisse #schweiz

Carnival time in my village this last weekend. When I was a kid, we called this the "chairoplane". :) #chilbi #carnival #2025 #haegendorf #switzerland #funfair

Bucketing down with rain yesterday but real estate photography must go on! Thank goodness for the Fujifilm weather sealing and my Panama hat! #realestate #photography #fujifilmx-h1 #rain #regen #regenschutz #sprtizwasserfest #splashproof #panamahat

The international photography festival is taking place at the moment in Olten, Switzerland. Lots of walks, talks, exhibitions, wokshops etc. More details here: www.ipfo.ch #photography #ipfo #blackandwhite #canon #Fujifilm #

One and a half hours until my next job. A book and the lovely view of the St Ursus Cathedral in Solothurn will help alleviate the boredom! :) #solothurn #switzerland #schweiz #leica #panamahat

My Summer reading. Looking forward to this. #edwardweston #photography #blackandwhite #read #books

Summertime in Switzerland. Time off for me, but non stop work for these little guys. #summer #sommer #schweiz #switzerland #insects #bees #butterflies #schmetterling

A colour image Waiting for my granddaughter at the station in Switzerland. I saw my shadow and thought about how monochromatic it looked. And there's a little bit of colour in just to prove it! :D #olten #station #switzerland #schweiz #notblackandwhite #streetphotogrsphy #shadows #colour

Week! That's my camera gear packed for a quick UK trip. :) #blackandwhite #canon #leica #oldschool #holiday

Summer feeling in Rheinfelden, Switzerland. Quite a few water lovers jumping off the bridge in the town. For those of you who are interested. Fujifilm x-100 1/500 sec @ f8 #swiss #switzerland #schweiz #rheinfelden #summer #summervibes #rhein #dive #sports

Checking out Sunflowers. My idea and my partner took it under my instructions #sunflowers #naturephotography #yellow #swiss #closeup #macro #photography #simple #eyes

A trifle bored. So I took some still life photos of my #fujifilmx100 and a compass. #stilllife #compass #bored #camera

Currently on a location shoot at a property for sale. The house is empty and the garden is unattended. I'm waiting for my client to turn up and I was thinking that they could be worse places to wait. Have a great day #blueskyers #realestatephotography #suisse #porrentruy

Managed to get up close to a gorgeous Klimt painting at the Solothurn Art museum in Switzerland last week. It's called "The Goldfish".

The finest examples south of the Alps, of Roman mosaics are in Villa romaine d'Orbe-Boscéaz (Mosaïques romaines d'Urba). I took my Insta 360 camera with me #roman #mosaics #switzerland #suisse #schweiz #history #insta360 #villa #d'Orbe-Boscéaz

Often when I am doing a property shoot, I take detail pics for myself. On this particular day in #olten , I was drawn to the various black surfaces #realty #immobilien #estate_agent #switzerland #schweiz #swiss #black #interior #architecture #photography #fujifilm

Headshot! A Sparrow (passer domesticus) building a nest in the rain. For those of you who care about such things: Fujifilm X-T3 Fujinon 50-140mm F2.8 640 ISO #sparrow #bird #rspb #birdphotography #spatz #passer_domesticus #spoogie #swiss #schweiz #switzerland
