UFO

Clapham Junction, London, 1997: I’d recently purchased my first SLR camera, a Mamiya ZE with Sekor-E 50mm f1.7 lens (for about 40 quid). I was living/working in this old pub in South London and an avid reader of Fortean Times magazine. Having seen many faked UFO photos and curious as to how they were created, […]

Kiev

Petone, Wellington, NZ, 2011: First roll from the cheaply/recently aquired Kiev 4m. The Kiev has a very interesting and long history… As part of post WWII war reparations, the Soviet Union dismantled East German factories and transplanted them behind the Iron Curtain. The Zeiss factory that manufactured Leica’s nemesis- the Contax– was one of them… […]

Fall

Wellington, NZ, 2008: Korokoro Dam shot on a Rolleiflex MX, alas I only owned it for a month or two… It was a bargin buy and in pristine condition… A joy to shoot with, sure wish I still had it sometimes… Rolleiflex MX/Ilford FP4

Autobahn

Wellington, NZ, 2007: From a shoot back in 2007 (or 06)- not without a couple of major issues (devaster/lightleak). Shot from a bridge overlooking Wellington’s motorway/autobahn (sic) Nb. The road maintainence truck on the left (in slo-mo) & the dev’d colours of the German flag… Lubitel 166U/Kodak E100vs 120

Leica3

Wellington, NZ, 2010: Won an online auction for an Oscar Barnack Leica IIIc at a very low price- but yeah, it was too good to be true… in rough nic bar for the Summitar 50mm f2. Cosmetic blemishes aside, the test roll proved my main fear- the cloth shutter curtains had pinhole light-leaks. Kinda made […]

Casa Mila

Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain, 1998: Double-exposured Gaudi’ “Casa Mila” on debut visit to Barcelona in 1998… had a mad few days… Mamiya ZE/50 1.7

PWL

Wellington, NZ, 2011: A bit of light painting the other night up at Wrights Hill with Darkhalide. It was a bit hit and miss, but a fantastic windless night to view Wellington from above. Canon EOS 30D/18-55is

Boba

Bobadilla, Andalucia, Spain, 1998: An accidental double exposure in the small Andalucian town of Bobadilla… The only reason I was in in Bobadilla at all was by accident… The train from Valencia had split during the night- my bag was in the section that was heading to Granada… Mamiya ZE/50mm 1.7

Tuktuk

Bangkok, Thailand, 2000: The iconic Bangkok by tuk-tuk experience… Mamiya ZE/50mm 1.7
