Vignettes of Ipswich

#fauxcharmera #photography
A high-contrast, duotone image in pale yellow and stark black depicts a wooden pier over water. In the upper half, a lifebuoy hangs on a central post atop the deck, which is composed of vertical wooden planks. The lower half features a dark, heavy horizontal line—the edge of the dock—below which a distorted reflection of the lifebuoy and post ripples in the water. The image uses a posterized, grainy effect, stripping away fine detail to create a bold, graphic silhouette. The overall mood is minimalist and slightly surreal, emphasized by the glowing yellow negative space.

NEW: Read this terrific piece @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social for @thenerve.news in which she unpicks Edge.org, the hugely influential 'salon' funded by Epstein & threaded through with race science & eugenics.

#fauxcharmera #photography
A high-contrast, grainy, two-tone image in pale yellow and black, captured from a high-angle bird's-eye perspective. The scene depicts a desolate, textured ground—resembling a dried-up riverbed or weathered pavement—scattered with abandoned objects. On the left, an overturned metal shopping cart lies on its side. To the right, a bicycle rests flat against the earth. A few smaller pieces of debris and a dark, indistinct triangular shape are strewn across the foreground. The heavy threshold effect creates a gritty, stark aesthetic, emphasizing harsh shadows and a sense of urban decay or post-apocalyptic stillness.

Vignettes of Ipswich

#fauxcharmera #photography
A high-contrast, stylized architectural photograph of a multi-story industrial or brutalist building. The image uses a limited palette of stark black and pale cream, creating a grainy, graphic novel aesthetic. Strong horizontal lines define the window rows and balconies, while three thin, vertical smokestacks or pipes rise near the center, breaking the geometric rhythm. Deep, ink-black shadows obscure interior details, emphasizing the building's angular silhouette against a flat, void-like sky. The perspective is from a low angle, making the structure appear imposing and monolithic. The overall mood is gritty, minimalist, and urban.

A high-contrast, black-and-yellow thresholded image captures a dramatic urban scene. In the background, a large Gothic-style church with a prominent square bell tower and intricate arched windows rises behind a brick wall. Bare tree branches frame the upper edge. In the mid-ground, a car sits covered in a reflective plastic tarp, parked against the wall. The foreground is dominated by a large puddle on the pavement, creating a stark, dark reflection of the church tower and the surrounding structures. The heavy graphic styling creates a gritty, noir-like atmosphere, emphasizing sharp textures and deep shadows. Would you like me to help you create a similar high-contrast image using a different subject?

The tray developing of the 7x17" sheets went well. Very even development and no scratches. Yay!!! Quick and dirty on glass scans using the Uni's Epson 12000XL flatbed which just fits a whole sheet. Quick and dirty edits.

Feeling happy 🙂

A wide-angle, black-and-white panoramic photograph of a quiet, overgrown churchyard. On the right, a massive, ancient tree with a thick, gnarled trunk and a dense canopy of bare, skeletal branches dominates the frame, casting a shadow over the graves. In the foreground and midground, numerous weathered headstones and stone crosses stand at various angles amidst a field of small, pale wildflowers—likely snowdrops. The markers vary in style, from simple rounded slabs to tall, ornate cruciforms. A line of distant, leafless trees forms a soft, blurred horizon under a bright, overcast sky, evoking a somber, peaceful atmosphere. A black-and-white, wide-angle photograph of a historic stone church. On the left, a tall, square bell tower with a crenelated top and a clock face rises from the building. The church features a series of arched windows along its side and a gabled porch at the entrance. The structure is built with a mix of flint and plaster, and its tiled roof shows signs of age. In the foreground, an uneven graveyard is scattered with weathered headstones and stone tombs. Bare, sprawling tree branches frame the upper-right corner against a pale, overcast sky.

I have just written a blog about my approach to photographing my Horse series. If you have the time, I would really appreciate you stopping by.

I have had a few technical problems with sentences going for a walk but hopefully it will be ok.

The planter trays worked great for 7x17" film dev'ing. Loads of room in the Uni darkroom sinks to manage them also. Film in the dryer, might scan tomorrow. Promising (re)(re)start with the Big Dog 👌

Ritter 7x17" ULF view camera at the local test subject. Will try an develop sheets this week at Uni to see how much I messed up 😀

A high-angle, wide shot captures a large-format field camera mounted on a tall wooden tripod in a tranquil English churchyard. The camera, crafted from dark wood with brass fittings, faces a medieval stone church with a prominent square bell tower under an overcast sky. A gravel path leads from the tripod toward the church entrance, flanked by weathered headstones and vibrant green grass. To the right, bare winter tree branches overhang the scene, while dense evergreens frame the background. The composition emphasizes the intersection of historical architecture and traditional analog photography equipment.

The idiotic backlash to Bad Bunny and the fascist ICE thugs rampaging through cities across the country highlight just how far we’ve fallen from the imperfect promise this country was founded on. There have always been limits on who qualifies to be “free,” more so now than ever.

Big Dog having a run. Remembered the dance, only forgot my loupe 🙄 Will try tray development in the Uni darkroom 🤞

A front-facing, eye-level shot captures a vintage large-format wooden field camera mounted on a tripod outdoors. The camera features a rich cherry-wood body, black bellows, and a central Copal No. 3 lens assembly. Two vertical black metal rods frame the lens board, connected at the top by a taut tan rubber band. The setup sits on a professional black tripod with wooden legs, positioned against a soft-focus background of lush green trees and a weathered wooden fence. The lighting is bright and natural, reflecting a cloudy sky in the glass of the large lens.

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit

Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’

Always nice to be at a screening of our film for everyone who was involved and get to see their reactions for the first time.
