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”

Yorkshire Air Museum
Sometimes I go to places with a good idea of why, and what I hope to see. Sometimes I just come across something I’ve never even heard of. This visit was the latter. On driving to our holiday accommodation we circled a roundabout just south of York, I spotted a sign for the Air Museum,Continue reading “Yorkshire Air Museum”
Day on Dartmoor
A while back I had a holiday break, staying down in Devon, a stones throw from Dartmoor National Park. In the 80’s as a family, we always had a summer holiday and often it was down in Devon. I have a soft spot for the area, it’s true! On this occasion I had a dayContinue reading “Day on Dartmoor”
Weston-Super-Mare
My day out to the Somerset coast came to and end in Weston-Super-Mare. The journey from Brean Sands was eventful, as somehow, no names, the cruise control on the car came on. I never use it so didn’t know what the symbol was, and obviously didn’t have my reading glasses on. I thought we wereContinue reading “Weston-Super-Mare”
Brean, Somerset
Brean is in Somerset, the name is derived from (modern) Welsh (“Bryn”) for hill, and there’s certainly one of those here! I stopped here on my way from Burnham-on-sea, north along the coast to Weston-super-mare. Brean divides the two towns. The huge down, juts out into the Bristol Channel, and while the beach from BurnhamContinue reading “Brean, Somerset”
Epcot in the 90’s on Gold 100
I’ve been lucky enough to travel to Florida and Epcot Centre many times. I’ve actually lost count of how many trips I’ve made, but it must be 6 or 7. Over the visits I’ve used many cameras and formats – this time it was my little Samsung AF Slim, loaded with Gold 100. This imageContinue reading “Epcot in the 90’s on Gold 100”
Madeira 2019
In 2019 I made a trip to Madeira, it is an autonomous region of Portugal, one of two, the other being the Azores. This was my “digital period” – sort of. I still used film, but this was the lull of my usage and before I saw sense, and came back to it! On thisContinue reading “Madeira 2019”
Norway 1993
Continuing on from my post last week, Belgium in B/W, I arrived in Norway. I’d had such a great time, last time I was here that I was eager to return and this time I did with a 16mm Krasnagorsk camera, 8x 100ft loads of film, as well as my little Samsung Compact 35mm camera.Continue reading “Norway 1993”
Back to Belgium in B/W
In the late spring/early summer of 1993, I was off on my travels again. I’d had such a great time in Scandinavia a couple of years earlier, travelling around by train, that I decided I’d do it again! This time I took a 16mm movie camera with me, a Krasnagorsk. I had 2 x 400ftContinue reading “Back to Belgium in B/W”
Scandinavia 1991 (pt2)
I travelled using my Eurorail rail card for under 25’s from Copenhagen across to Stockholm, Sweden. What a lovely place! As someone who at this point was used to the muddle and grime of London, the clean air, space and open nature of Stockholm particularly struck me. I wandered about, visited the Old Town (GamlaContinue reading “Scandinavia 1991 (pt2)”
