About 30 years ago my parents and I rented a holiday home for a week, in a small town called Shaldon, down on the south coast of Devon. This looks over a wide harbour, the other side of which, lies the town on Teignmouth. I’ve been here several times, and always liked the place. AtContinue reading “Gone to the beach!”

Single Photo: Kent
We all like a photo of a door with peeling paint – this may be the ultimate! There is a preserved railway in Kent, the Kent & East Sussex Railway, that runs from Tenterden to Bodiam Castle. It’s a 10.5 mile ride on a good old steam train and makes for a great day out.Continue reading “Single Photo: Kent”
Bolivia: The end of film…
… for a short while! I’ll explain. Back in 2005 I found myself in Bolivia, as you do! I’ll be honest and say that I was a little apprehensive I’d heard stories, drug cartels, violence, on the US dangerous to visit list etc. I found the people wonderful, saw no demonstrations, fights or violence, inContinue reading “Bolivia: The end of film…”
More from Bournemouth
A couple of posts back I shared some photo’s I made on a lovely summer day – a photo walk along Bournemouth promenade. This is sort of a “Part-2 the walk back”! Chatter: Pentax ME Super with the 40mm pancake lens. 26 year out-of-date Ilford FP4 Movie Film, developed in D23.
Post – did you know…
I guess this is a post to “warn” any UK readers I have, about postage! I hope that any readers not in the UK will chuckle at how daft this situation is!! I went to the post office a couple days ago to post a “small parcel” to Australia. The night before I had beenContinue reading “Post – did you know…”
Scotland
Almost exactly 15 years ago I went to Scotland with a good friend. We went to a Buddhist retreat on the shores of Loch Voil. Above is the view from Creag An Tuirc. It was interesting experience, one that mostly I enjoyed very much. On the journey up we stopped at Kendal in the LakeContinue reading “Scotland”
Street Portraits
Street portraits is not something that I am particularly comfortable doing. However, inspired by Kenneth Wajda – check out his website here, I decided to push myself. I set out with a roll in my Zeiss folder – hoping that this may start a couple of conversations, loaded with FP4. I got a couple goodContinue reading “Street Portraits”
Last day of Summer?
Last week, on my day off, I drove the short distance into Bournemouth, parked up and had a photo walk. I park near the top of a chine, and walk down to the beach. All along the seafront promenade until I reach the pier then turn around and walk back, unless I need to walkContinue reading “Last day of Summer?”
A few from the street
I like street photography – when I see it done well in books. I like making photo’s in the street myself, but don’t think that I have much skill at it. That doesn’t mean that I don’t have a practise now and again. On this occasion I took out my Zeiss folder, loaded with aContinue reading “A few from the street”
Agfa APX in Poole
I believe that the “new” Agfa APX100 is the same as Kentmere 100. Question: Have you ever come across a supplier that offers both? Not that it matters any, it’s a couple of pounds cheaper than FP4, so if I ever get to the point where I need to reduce my film costs, I’ll beContinue reading “Agfa APX in Poole”
