I'm a fan of the Kuoe Old Smith automatic watches, with their blued steel hands. They are not tremendously expensive, but still feel a bit much for me, especially for what is basically a simple watch. But this Berny has a lot of the feel for only £30, sadly quartz, but beggars can't be choosers.

New book in the post today, many of the photos I've seen before or have in other books, but with a different set of texts, and a few photos I'm not familiar with, like this portrait of his late wife Christine.

As often as not I more or less isolate the abandoned boats, concentrating on individual stories of decay, this one though gives more of a general idea of the scale of the situation.

B&W photo of a tree in the middle of a farmers field. It's trunk grew straight up at first before bending to the left, allowing the branches to feather out and upwards towards the sky. It is a dull day on this occasion, in mid autumn as the leaves are thinning out.

B&W photo of the bow of an old clinker built fishing vessel, now showing extreme age and the traditional nails holding it together are coming away. What's left of the boat is resting on a marsh, shown here on a very overcast day.

Despite some issues with framing, which I hope I've fixed, I really like how the lens on this little Diana F+ Dreamer renders (the pinhole I'm less enamoured with)

So my Diana seems to basically work, although maybe a small light leak along the top edge of the back, but that could have been something else, we will see, but also with 20 year old TMAX 400 not too bad. But the photos are small, guess I'll lose the frame next time ?
