Egypt – S.H.O.U.T.

35mm: North Bank

It’s been a few years since I walked along the north bank of the Thames in central London. Apart from “the embankment”, it used to be quite fragmented and the stretch from Blackfriars bridge to, give or take, Tower Bridge, involved quite a bit of street walking away from the river. Now that stretch hasContinue reading “35mm: North Bank”

British Museum

Sometimes an experience is a frame of mind. How you feel on the day, what your expectations are, what mood you are in. The British Museum is one of my “go-to” places in London. I’ve been in 10’s of times. I find it a wonderful place. Full of art and “treasure” from civilizations past andContinue reading “British Museum”

Travel: The Temple of Horus at Edfu

Back in 2000 I went on a trip to Egypt. I took my Bronica ETRS, with the 75mm lens and the 45mm, a couple of backs and the meter. I also took a Canon Zoom 60! I’m slowly, in fact very slowly, working my way through the negs scanning them. Back in the day theyContinue reading “Travel: The Temple of Horus at Edfu”

Travel: In a hole in the ground..

After wandering about the Valley of the Kings, in the heat of the day it was a welcome break to venture underground and slightly cooler temperatures! At this point in time I can’t remember which tombs I went in and which I didn’t, and to make matters worse I can’t find my travel diary either!Continue reading “Travel: In a hole in the ground..”

Travel: Valley of the Kings

Just over the hill from the Valley of the Queens, lies the more famous Valley of the Kings. More famous because of one out of 65 tombs, (known so far) and that is the tomb of King Tut Ankh Amun. In case you haven’t read any of the other posts in this series, I visitedContinue reading “Travel: Valley of the Kings”

Travel: Egypt Valley of the Queens

Today I’m covering another day of my trip to Egypt. This time, I cross the Nile from Luxor to visit the Valley of the Queens. For those of you who’ve read the first two posts, you’ll know I took with me a digital video camera, a Canon Zoom 60 and as my main camera aContinue reading “Travel: Egypt Valley of the Queens”

Travel: Luxor, Egypt

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the start of a trip I made to Egypt. You can read part one here if you wish. I had with me my Bronica ETRS, with a couple lenses and backs. Since that post I’ve had time to scan a couple more films, and thought today, IContinue reading “Travel: Luxor, Egypt”

Travel: Egypt

Not too long ago I purchased an Epson V600 scanner, mainly so I could scan 120 film. This was for two reasons. I now have a Hasselblad camera and need to scan new work. The second reason is that I’ve had a few medium format cameras over the years and would like to scan someContinue reading “Travel: Egypt”
