The Fenland of Cambridgeshire is my photographic “backyard” -a place of wide open landscape broken by drains, droves and lines. The rich black peat , slowly eroding contrasts against constantly changing light.
Using pinhole, polaroid and Holga cameras I try to capture the still beauty of the place.

Today in the land of the RETIRED I have mostly been having coffee and looking at prints with local pal and printer Robin Jones - film and darkroom chatter then out into the fens for an hour.
If you find yourselves anywhere near me give me a shout - coffee chat and fens.

These days my #FilmPhotography spending money goes on chemicals and paper mostly - don’t mention photo books. Shout out to Firstcall Photographic for their decades of dedication to this analogue world .

Ok I’m now happy with the final print from 2024 trip to Spain with my Pentax 17.
Not used the Fuji DP2 paper before but looking forward to making more 10x12 prints in the Fenland Darkroom.

Recently I shared the link to the YouTube video showing how Ctein made dye transfer prints.
The second edition of his book is available free on line as a PDF download and is recommended if you want to dive deeper into film and darkroom technique

I’m loving the “Frames” subscription - monthly digital mag, quarterly print mag and tomorrow an interactive zoom meeting with a guest photographer - had Alec Soth in the past .
There’s a great members social site too.

Whilst I’ve been coming to terms with the arthritis in my hip, today marked a huge turning point as for the first time since I was 16 I no longer have a job.
Handed my resignation letter in to Tesco today as my body has told me I need to stop.
I’ll be 60 next year - early retirement it is then…
