I seem to have dropped out of all my socials. Not on purpose, or for any reason that I know of. But what better way to let the word know I'm still alive than sharing the interview I had with @jimallthetime.bsky.social He's a fine fellow, and good fun to chat with open.substack.com/pub/jimallth...

Those extreme groups waving flags bearing the St George's Cross at anti-migrant protests today would do well to remember that they wave the cross of Christ, himself a refugee, who said much about caring for the stranger in our midst. We need proper debate about this issue, not stoking fear & hate.

This half frame Friday I bring a call to action! #hff The inaugural Worldwide Half-frame Photography Day is Sunday 6th September - mark it on your calendars, follow @halfframephotoday.bsky.social and if you can, please spread the word to as many people as possible. As well as being an excuse to /

@johnfarnan.bsky.social and I chatted with @getymk.com on show 8 of the podcast ….. for all your pinhole and lo-fi needs ….. #believeinfilm #filmphotography podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

A blog post about my tinkering with a #RaspberryPi Zero. Written with tongue in cheek, so it's not to be taken entirely seriously. (It's all true, though!) revrichard.github.io/2025/07/15/d...

I've completed a test roll in my recently acquired Olympus Pen D. It's hanging up to dry as we speak. There won't be any great pictures, but I'm pleased to say there are pictures. Evenly spaced on the roll, too. So that's a win. #believeinfilm

I'm having trouble finding the motivation to go out photographing in this heat. So here's the fellow who would be joining me if I could get off the sofa #believeinfilm

An Olympus Pen D arrived today - hoping to put a test roll through it at the weekend. #believeinfilm #halfframe

At Hall Towers, I've been having fun with Raspberry Pi devices in various guises lately alongside testing ways of not being quite so tightly gripped by Google. Here's a very bad photo of a 'proof of concept' setup)...

A question not entirely unrelated to my last one about half-frame cameras: what experience do you have of buying from Japanese sellers on the auction site?

Film friends: I want to get into half frame. I've got a Chaika, which I want to love but don't, and an Agfa-badged plastic-fantastic similar to the H35, but I want something better quality. I'm torn between Pen F and Pentax 17. I'd be interested in gathering the collective wisdom. #believeinfilm

2 lovely prints just dropped through my letterbox from the splendid @daveinelland.bsky.social, a result of the "Postcards from afar" exchange organised by @craftymoni.bsky.social (to whom go bigly thanks!)

We all have to take responsibility for reducing CO2 emissions. Of course we do. But what is the point of guilt-tripping "ordinary" folk about the flight they take on their annual holiday to Europe or the Canaries... theicct.org/pr-air-and-g...

One last phone pic from my road trip in the Outer Hebrides. I'm home now.

Kisimul Castle, Barra

One of many abandoned and decaying houses on these islands. Every one of them will have stories to tell #SouthUist #Hebrides

Two more pics from Balranald before we left this morning.

Beach at Balranald #NorthUist

Huisinis Gateway. Well worth the 13 mile drive down a single track twisty road

Parked up at Horgabost beach tonight. Slumming it - going without EHU. Oh the squalor!

Gearrannan Blackhouse Village

Reef beach

Dun Carloway Broch

The Calanais (Callanish) standing stones are properly impressive

Let's go to Lewis, she said. It will be lovely, she said. #vanlife

Polly the dachshund

The Atlas World Voyager, not long before it left Ullapool this evening. I imagine it's a bit more luxurious than the CalMac ferry I'll be catching

I bought this little fellow on a whim from the good folk at @analoguewonderland.bsky.social The question is, do I take it to Scotland with me tomorrow? You'll notice I bought the 'professional' version in black. #believeinfilm

Woe & fie! Lackaday & woe! It seems that my lovely LC-A has gone the way of all flesh. Bugger.

It doesn't look like much, but here's my first pic (an accidental selfie) taken with the camera on a Rasberry Pi Zero. Considering that I managed to bust the latch on the camera ribbon so it's held in by a bit of plastic, I'm quite pleased.

I just recently ventured into the world of #raspberrypi. What fun! Wishing I'd tried this ages ago!

If you have been thinking about buying a copy of Opaque, we are down to the last 9 copies and once gone they are gone. ko-fi.com/s/f2b8a862c9 #photozine #photozines #believeinfilm #filmphotography

Exciting stuff in the offing. Watch this space! #NoSpoilers

Just watched the first episode of Boys From The Black Stuff on BBC iPlayer from 1982. I remember watching it when it came out, how grittily realistic it seemed. 40+ years on it's like a glimpse of life on a different planet entirely m.imdb.com/title/tt0083...

One from my archive for no particular reason. Moreton Corbet Castle taken with Praktika MTL50, Carl Zeiss Jena 28mm, Orwo NC3 film (v expired) #believeinfilm #shropshire
