A beautiful find...

I was just going through some old photos and I found this scan of an image I took back in 2008.  This was in Mulmur, Ontario, and the truck was stationary at the side of the road - with no one around.  It was eerie and beautiful and an incredible piece of machinery.

I had my big old Pentax 67II with me and took some shots... when I just opened up this image in Photoshop my heart fluttered, I realised I really need to take out my Pentax again and shoot some medium format film.  Nothing compares to the depth that you get on film, and on a big negative, on a 6x7.  Well, at least digital doesn't compare...

I can't wait to get shooting on film again, I've really missed it.

A walk on the Heath...

The weather took a turn for the better last night and I went for a walk on Hampstead Heath to clear my head after staying holed up all day shying away from the damp outside, what a beautiful evening it was.  In my rush to get out into the outside world I neglected to bring a "real camera" with me, but, to quote Chase Jarvis, the best camera you have is the one you have with you.  Amen.

Here's to my iPhone and it's rather average camera (it's a 3Gs), for being there and enabling me to capture the beauty of the Heath in silhouette...

New studio test shoot, going back to the 80's...

Last week I went back to the studio with some friends..........and some wine.... and this is what came out (there will be more to come as I get through the edit).  We had so much fun, except for when we realised we are subconsciously stuck in the late 80's / early 90's...

Hola my beautiful friends and thank you for being such great and willing models!

A nice little nod on the All Walks blog...
