#photochat A3.
Hahahahaha.
None of the above for me! BSky is plenty enough for me to mishandle! 😂

#photochat A2.
Purely a hobby, mostly for my own pleasure. It is great when others see my images, whether family or friends and I occasionally get a compliment.
SM ( originally on twitter) was super for meeting a lot of the #believeinfilm types now here.
It is another way of seeing all our output.

A1. Hello Steve and everyone.
Phil Walker, retired for 4 years. Interested in photography since a toddler+, using my Mum's Voightlander.
I learnt BnW printing as a 10 year old. Zenith first SLR.
From teens to 40's, just colour prints, then slides.
Now, BnW only as a hobby. Never digi 😆

Cracking tones there, Peter.

Thanks, Dan, for giving us different perspective of this.

Nice one ... with a rich palette of tones, Ian.

I am sorry. I am afraid your current regime is not for the citizens .... only themselves. I wish him luck in sorting something else.

Phil Walker @philwalker.bsky.social · 2d

Oh ... that is rotten ....

Phil Walker @philwalker.bsky.social · 2d

Good news, Phil ..... but Royal Mail? Pah.

That stone skimmer one is sumptuous, Marie.

Phil Walker @philwalker.bsky.social · 2d

Well .... that was presumptuously "nice" of him / her.
Have they nothing better to do?

Phil Walker @philwalker.bsky.social · 2d

Wow. Superb Christoph.

I do not envy you. I moved about 10 times in 25 years, plus smaller temporary moves / attachments in the period.
Currently in the same place now for 25 .... hence a bit cluttered .... but at least I have had a darkroom for 23 of those years! 😊

Phil Walker @philwalker.bsky.social · 2d

I tip my hat to your creative industriousness, Steve.
Have you moved abode yet?

Phil Walker @philwalker.bsky.social · 2d

Great images Ela.

Finished. My hot take ... crikey. This is a raw, cut and thrust memoir describing a life that has mostly been a long and hard uphill drag. Why would it not be given racism, poverty, undiagnosed ADHD etc etc?

It was a grey, dull day .... so I am in the warm and reading Drystone by @kristiedegaris.bsky.social .
I read half yesterday evening, so now I must crack on.
Fresh coffee .... let's go!

Phil Walker @philwalker.bsky.social · 4d

Phil Walker @philwalker.bsky.social · 4d
