I wanted to make a few images in Dorchester last week, and thought I’d give the Hasselblad it’s first outing. Mad isn’t it to have such a camera and not use it over the winter? Well I have plans this summer – it might be busy!! Anyhow, I got it out of the bag, gotContinue reading “Hassel with the Hasselblad”

I’ve been scanning selected negs from my 1990’s trip, for some reason I’ve posted the Las Vegas part out of sequence, but no matter! I actually flew into L.A. – left the same day for San Diego, then took the overnight Greyhound to Phoenix. Sometime in the middle of the night passing through Yuma, andContinue reading “Arizona 1990’s Style”

I’ve read a book! There is an exclamation mark because it’s not something that happens often. I read quite a lot, articles, on the web and so on, but not so much books. I came across the book above, in my usual manner. Sat down, to have a flick through, and hour and half later,Continue reading “Clyde and Niki Butcher”

I’ve scanned a few more images from my early 90’s visit to the west coast of the USA. I have to say I do enjoy a photographic trip down memory lane! I’m very pleased with the way the negs have stored all these years, and the way the new scanner copes with them. This rollContinue reading “A few from San Diego”

A while back I wrote about my first visit to the West Coast of the USA in 1990. You can read about my San Francisco experience here, and my L.A. experience here. Although the Greyhound bus wasn’t working to schedule, the trip only confirmed that I wanted more! So the following year (according to myContinue reading “Visiting Vegas”

Dame Elisabeth Jean Frink CH DBE RA, was a sculptor and print maker, certainly of national fame if not international. She moved to Dorset, later and life and set up a studio. She died in Blandford Forum, aged only 62. Dorchester has the grouping of her figures, at the site of the old gallows. TheContinue reading “HP5 Pushed and art”

Just as I was getting to work the other day a flock of Pidgeon’s dived at me. In Dorchester anywhere near the church tower that means the resident Peregrine falcon is on the hunt! At least I think it’s a Peregrine falcon, but I’m not a “birder” so can’t be sure. What I can beContinue reading “Bird on a tower!”

When I started this blog it was with FILM images and photography in mind. I have digital cameras, and use them, but there is something about film that works for me on a deeper level. I’m not sure that I could verbalise more than that, other than to say, there is something emotional about filmContinue reading “Fuji X-T5 – Digital Attraction”

As my winter output of photography has been low this year, I’ve been spending a bit more time scanning and editing. I came across these images I took near to sunset at Portland Bill (Dorset, UK). They were made on the original Kodak Tmax 400. Of course it’s easy to know that, as it’s edgeContinue reading “3 from Portland Bill”
