Exactly 5 years ago today I published the first post on this blog! I’d thought about a blog for a while but had just never gotten around to it! Over the years many projects, hobbies and interests have come and gone – few have lasted with the exception of film-making and photography. No one isContinue reading “Happy Birthday Blog!”

Happy New Year everyone! May this coming year be good to us all, may it bring peace, calm and joy and may we all make a bit of progress to loving our fellow humans, our planet and ourselves a bit more!

Merry Christmas!
To all my friends, acquaintances, and visitors to this blog. Wherever you are in the world, whatever your religion, race or creed, may I wish you a “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holiday Season” (whichever is more appropriate!). I hope your New Year is filled with joy and peace.
12 Favourite Images posted in 2025
As we reach the end of the year, I guess it’s time for a little reflection as well as looking forward. In this post I’m going to choose a favourite photo from each month that has been posted on this blog. If I did this in a month’s time, no doubt it would be aContinue reading “12 Favourite Images posted in 2025”
Sundry Saturday!
I’m always reading things about photography in all of it’s many and varied aspects. Hardly a day goes by when I don’t think to myself “I never knew that” or “oh that’s why that is so” or “oh that’s why….”. This is a sample from this last week! DX Coding. Well we all know aboutContinue reading “Sundry Saturday!”
Social Media and me
Several years ago I looked at Facebook. Friends and colleagues were always amazed that I still wasn’t there. I looked, frankly thought what a load of **ap, and passed. There was just such a lot of rubbish there. A few years later, I had seen a programme featuring the photographer Stephen Shore, and that heContinue reading “Social Media and me”
Slop Bog #2

I enjoyed myself at the larger, and slightly further awayContinue reading “Slop Bog #2”
Notes from a darkroom!
Mini up-date of various “stuff”: I found an old darkroom blue spirit thermometer where the liquid had become separated, most likely from being laid flat.

Camera Review Page Updated!
Recently I’ve tried and written about several film cameras. There has been bit of a hiatus and I’m not at an end yet, in fact far from it! I have however up-dated the Camera Review Page, so that anyone who wishes, can get straight to the cameras!
Viewing Figures
I’m not that fussed about my viewing figures – I know that my little blog is small-fry so perhaps that’s just as well. That’s not to say I wouldn’t be pleased if I had double the figures – of course I would! What does please me however is to know that people from many countriesContinue reading “Viewing Figures”
