While digging through some of my collection I came across this, the Fuji DL-25. A camera that I’ve had since at least 2013 and yet has only… Read more “For your consideration: Fuji DL-25”

Restrictions and the freedom they bring: Lomography Simple Use Camera
Sometimes you don’t really need much. Sure it’s nice to be carrying around an slr or rangefinder on holiday. Knowing your lighting is being expertly metered or you’ve been waiting to try out that new wide angle lens in a city you’ve never visited before.
But somewhere along the way you get bogged down by the burden of choice.
(more…)Yashica Electro-35 GT
There are some entries in my collection that exist because they were found. This camera I actively sought out. Back when I was addicted to Tumblr I came across some amazing work that was shot exclusively using the Yashica Electro-35. As this was very early on on my collection, I became obsessed with this camera thinking “I can take photos like that if I had that camera” of course now I realise while a camera can have certain distinctive characteristics, the camera actually had very little to do with the images in comparison to the photographer who shot them.

On Lockdown
I’ve been in two minds about posting these images. But I feel that it’s even more important to keep making work during times like these. It’s our responsibility as photographers to keep working and creating even with the lockdown in place.
With all the downtime I’ve been landed with as a result of Covid-19, I ended up shooting and processing my remaining rolls of Kodak TMAX.
These images were shot using a Nikonos IV-A and Zorki 4 during the first 2 weeks of lockdown. Some images taken in Cardiff in the week before the lockdown came into effect, and the latter shot where I live in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan.
Despite the past month being the warmest of the year, the whole world has seemed cold. Seeing the social distancing measures in place as people queue up for supplies, or seeing near deserted beaches at Barry Island.
Places such as this rely on tourist trade as a source of income. It was sobering to have the sun beating down on your back while every shop on the waterfront had closed shutters and empty displays. The rides have not moved an inch in over a month.
