Leica M Monochrom, Zeiss 85mm Tele-Tessar T F4

Between film projects, I’ve been revisiting my work made with Leica Monochrom cameras, still my favourite digital cameras for black & white, & the closest I’ve felt digitally to shooting film.

Captured from the same spot with a Zero Image 4x5 pinhole camera
these images show how changing the focal length, from 25mm to 75mm — completely reshapes the way the scene feels.

ski jump penis doping story only underscores the advantages of shape and drape over slim fit clothing

www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/f...
Excerpt from a Guardian story: "Norway’s head coach Magnus Brevik, assistant coach Thomas Lobben, and staff member Adrian Livelten were also banned for 18 months for their involvement in the scheme, which made the jumpers’ suits larger and therefore reduced their descent rate due to the bigger wingspan. One study in the scientific journal Frontiers found that every 2cm in suit size circumference reduced drag by 4% and increased lift by 5%. It said that a 2cm change in the suits was equivalent to an extra 5.8 metres in jump length. However Bild has now claimed that jumpers have switched to other methods to game the system when they are measured for their suits, data for which is taken by a 3D scanner from the lowest point of their genitals. They include injecting acid into their penises or putting clay in their underwear to make their measurements temporarily bigger and therefore their suits looser for when they compete. The newspaper quoted a doctor, Kamran Karim, who said: “It is possible to achieve a temporary, visual thickening of the penis by injecting paraffin or hyaluronic acid. Such an injection is not medically indicated and is associated with risks.”"

To Paul’s School, it being Apposition-day there. I heard some of their speeches, and they were just as schoolboys’ used to be, of the seven liberal sciences; but I think not so good as ours were in our time.
