Reading Time: 2 minutesI have been flicking through some very old archives while backfilling some gaps in this site which got lost when transferring the structure at some point and came across these. These, from my notes, were taken using Kodak Gold 100 in a QB35 – this …
Reading Time: 3 minutesI am going back a bit through some of my archives and pulling out a few old experiments to look over. This is partly personal – I have not done as much photography for a while, and also have a pile of undeveloped film I …
Reading Time: 3 minutesThat sounds slightly rude! One of my favourite cameras, the one I read about in some hipster rag and which set me off on all the Lomography nonsense is of course the Diana F+ I bought in Carnaby Street some years ago. I’ve taken a …

Reading Time: 4 minutesI’ve been down to London for work again, and as usual managed to blag my travel so I get a fair amount of time later in the day to take a look around. I’ve taken the opportunity again to have more of a wander round …
