Cyanotypes are great for making your own postcards.

Time to re-activate the Cyanotype laboratory. I love this printmaking process.

Clip from one of our other old shows, 'Beyond the Vale'. The first time the "AI = Shoggoth" analogy is made on the internet [Oct. 2022]. www.patreon.com/AtticShow/po...

Bob! Lord of all Shoggoths! Clip from an old 'Starry Wisdom' episode, looking at the much-missed fanzine, The Whisperer, from the early 2000s.

Still digging through the archives. In the near future I plan to re-release the old CHRONOSCOPE segments from our 'Beyond the Vale' shows. They're a great nostalgia hit (and sometimes informative, I think 🤔).

De Valk, Leiden.

THE ATTIC (Kitchen Table Episode), now out on Patreon. www.patreon.com/AtticShow/po...

Our second episode of THE ATTIC for June is out tomorrow (10 am) in all the usual places. There may be some discussion of stationery related items. 🖋️

Out tomorrow (Weds. 24th June), a rather different episode of THE ATTIC show. This one exclusive to our Patreon supporters. www.patreon.com/AtticShow Featuring *thrilling* conversations of holiday adventures (among other things). Well, it is summer, and there were some unusual occurrences today.

A clip from Poirot: Greatest Detective, where we investigate Agatha Christie's The King of Clubs. How to have a lot of money if you work in museums... podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Wonderful walk around Haworth yesterday following The Railway Children trail. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rai...

Another reason to love Leiden. A place where science is so respected, they put Electron Spin equations on the walls.

– and then you mix vintage photography with Stereo 3D AND Cyanotypes. (Thanks to @stereoscopyblog.bsky.social for the inspiration.) #StereoscopyDay

When the worlds of vintage photography and stereoscopy collide. A 1936 Leica IIIa sporting a period-appropriate Leitz 'Stereoly' 3D attachment. Still producing incredible images 90 years on. #StereoscopyDay

Like windmills? Like 3D? Something for 'World Stereoscopy Day' today. (If you think it looks close, just trying watching it in stereo...) 😎 #SterescopyDay

In the next 'Greatest Detective' we uncover more connections between Poirot, Doctor Who, and H.P. Lovecraft. Yes, it appears we love correlating contents. In the current edition of PGD this pre-Hays Code film makes an appearance as we tie Hercule Poirot to King Kong (an interesting metal image). 🤔

It's been quite the journey. Final episode of Season 1 of 'Poirot: Greatest Detective', now in studio edit.

A new episode of Poirot: Greatest Detective is out! This time we look at: The King of Clubs. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

It may look a little futuristic but this camera is 70 years old. Its images cannot be deleted by Apple or lost on a hard disk. Earlier this month in THE ATTIC we talked about the Cyanotype printing process, in next week's show we'll discuss taking images with film (possibly, & among other things).

I love the colour, light, and focus of this photograph – top of a 19th century spiral staircase at The Leeds Library. Leica IIIa [1936] with Canon 50mm f/1.4 on Kodak.

It was a pleasure to speak to you for four(!) hours last week. Chatting in the middle of a museum seemed appropriate. 🙂 It was lovely me meet you Emily, and I hope I did not bore you with talk of "the old days" too much!

I would like to thank my family for this extremely generous early birthday present. It will be treasured (and used)! A vintage 1956 Leica IIIg camera. (Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens I already owned.) My phone is fine for digital but there’s something about analogue that still appeals. A mechanical jewel.

Today I was reminded of Dungeon Majesty. Great times back in the early 2000s. www.youtube.com/@DungeonMaje...

While it's never advised to open up a camera mid film roll, it can lead to some interesting results... how did that metal beetle get in there? 🤔 #FilmPhotography

As I was visiting the National Railway Museum the other day for a meeting, I thought I would try out some Orthochromatic film on a vintage camera, for a double-challenge. 📷 It will take some getting used to, but it definitely has a certain period style. #Leica #LeicaIIIg #FilmPhotography

Happy with the results of a park trip with a 90 year old camera. #LeicaIII #filmphotography.

If you’re in the Leeds area in a couple of weeks…

I am tired of clickbait.

The description of UK games conventions sounds all too familiar — also some good recommendations for book stops in London.

More historic handmade cyanotype prints coming this summer. This example is of Sir John Soane's Museum in Lincoln's Inn Fields, London. #AlternativeProcess #Cyanotype #Leica

Mixing things up for summer! Your eagle-eyes may have noticed a little re-branding of this account as I bring both our shows (THE ATTIC vodcast & Poirot: Greatest Detective) under the same 'Thin King Productions' umbrella. So this becomes an 'everything' channel. Hopefully not too confusing! 😉

Memories of The Leeds Library. #LeicaIII #Film #Barnack
