Having moved on from the St Pauls area, I carried on to the “City”. Most people think of London as being a huge metropolis, something just about contained by the circular M25. Most don’t know that the actual “City of London” (as opposed to Westminster or Chelsea or Hackney etc) is by far the smallestContinue reading “A Question of Size”

Over the Mellenium Bridge
I seem to remember when the Mellenium Bridge opened in 2000, it was nicknamed the “Wobbly Bridge” as it was a bit like walking on a boat. So only two days after it’s grand opening, it was closed for another two years! These day’s it’s long sorted, and a wonderful gateway to the Southbank fromContinue reading “Over the Mellenium Bridge”
35mm: At Tate Modern
Following on from my last post – an alternative title for this one, could have been – “Same film stock, different developer”! This, the second roll from my day trip to London, was developed in fresh ID11, rather than use developer obviously on it’s way out. With Ilford Delta 400, it’s not a developer thatContinue reading “35mm: At Tate Modern”
35mm: London on Delta 400
Last weekend I ended up in London. Was a time I went frequently, these days it gets less and less often. I do enjoy the “buzz” of London, but trying to get a few things done all in one day, often leaves me as much drained as invigorated these days. It’s an age thing! Anyway,Continue reading “35mm: London on Delta 400”
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”
Millennium Dome
The other day while pulling the “Egypt” negative sheets out of the file for scanning, I noticed that the next film along was a roll of black and white Fuji NP400. The film was discontinued in 2013, about the same time as the original Acros was introduced I think. I can’t find a “birth-date” forContinue reading “Millennium Dome”
