…it’s too dark to be shooting Velvia.

The world is a depressing place. Posting a picture is a distraction.

When i line up my photographic dreams they make quite the parade.
Depending on the day, i either want to be: shooting for 23 envelope; floating around under the south china sea cataloging coral reefs for future generations (but with a little more style than your average marine biologist); hiking through the mountains of japan shooting buddhist statuary…
That’s a lot of dreams for a man who tends not to leave the house five days a week.

Yep, knew this one wasn’t going to be the one… by the time i got on the train i’d sobered up enough to know that i hadn’t bother to focus. Actually, i’m not sure that anything was right…
Next time.

I’d like to tell you that i’d been channelling my inner Manny, but the terrible truth is that the beloved forty had lost its mind a few times, and got all locked up. It seems to have recovered now, so we can guiltlessly enjoy the fruits of it’s momentary insanity!

Thomas eyes up another melancholy scene!
I’ve been having real issue getting my 120 film on to reels lately. Before getting a camera that used 135 all film was loaded onto the reels in a dark bag. The initial struggles with 135 forces me into the toilet (the easiest room to black out in the house) and out of the bag. So far i’ve not managed to load one roll of 120 correctly on my lap…
It’s obviously time to head back to the bag!
