Piccies from a foreign land

I got my films from my trip to the UK back yesterday and they are awesome! I love my Hasselblad, it produces amazing images – so clear and full of glorious colour and definition in a way that digital images somehow aren’t.  The trouble is, scanning these amazing prints and showing them on here doesn’t show them how they are at all 😦 I…

freak magnet

Mostly, being average looking, average height and average build, I don’t attract any attention wherever I go.  This comes in handy when I want to take photographs, particularly in the street where people are sometimes suspicious of that kind of thing. Recently though, I have been toting my Hasselblad medium format film camera about the place and as it’s pretty unusual looking (compared to…

slack city, Arizona

I know, my blog is getting a little dusty.  I have an excuse, I’ve been busy with all kinds of things.  So there. I’m flying back to England tomorrow so I can see my babies – its been nearly 5 months since I last saw them – time really flies and it doesn’t seem that long ago in some ways, but in other ways,…

cakes glorious cakes

This weekend was so chilled out – we had a lazy morning on Saturday, just kicking back on the sofa and chatting for a few hours, catching up on each others thoughts. I love our Saturday mornings when we get the chance to do that. I really wanted to go take some photos on Saturday afternoon, so we saddled up and headed North to…

Holga and Hasselblad

So, as you are aware, I got my films back – I was especially looking forward to seeing the shots from the Hasselblad, given I paid a small fortune for it and am betting the farm that it’ll produce images that will stir my creative soul.   I know, not too much pressure then. First, the Holga, which never ceases to surprise and amaze Next,…

cameratime

previously (as they say on Dexter, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and others, before wasting 10 minutes of airtime on recapping seemingly the entire series to date) I mentioned a new camera. Well, its not new.  1981 to be exact.  But it’s new to me.  And actually, given the concourse condition, it may as well be new.  There’s not a mark on it anywhere. So,…

slackest blogger award goes to..

er, me.  bugger so, whats new in my world? 1.  Its got cold. A feet numbing kind of cold.  Infact it’s almost record breakingly cold in Perth.  We’ve had a couple of frosts this week and night time temps have generally been around 1 or 2 degrees all week.  I know, I know, its not exactly cold compared to Europe or the US this…

let them eat cake

A little while ago (in a place far far away.. *cue music…* no, wait, thats star wars..) I decided that I wanted to make cakes.  Cupcakes to be specific. I have no idea why, they’re girlie things really, but they’re perfect bit sized pieces of heaven that can be made in about 30 mins and in a myriad (love that word) of different varieties….

so slack!

One post in a week – thats pretty piss poor.  Ah well. So, whats been happening? My Birthday.  Apart from that fact that I was working from 8am till 11pm and couldn’t celebrate at all – I had a wonderful day.  Jay bought me a guitar fx thingumy which means I can sound like Dave Gilmore or Kurt Cobain, even if I can’t actually…
