Duality.
(… a recent test with one of the locals + my 107yo Brownie. I love that it’s still possible to make an image with a kooky little box of balsa wood + grimy glass, a rudimentary construction assembled prior to World War 1 with little in the way of technical control, and still wind up with images that land.

The multiple exposures were done in-camera (zero-edit) on a Kodak Brownie No2 D (1914), shot on TMax400 stock at my place, dev by A+M Imaging.

“Floz and I met when I moved into her house for lockdown. After smashing through the Harry Potter books in the early days, she became a force of anonymous joy down our end of New Town, the mysterious vandal tying rainbow ribbons to all the trees and fences, chalking pavements, spreading colour everywhere she could. Rainbows were big this year, and she wears hers everywhere still.”

I dusted off the #Pentax6x7 this week, after so many months out, for a high energy street session with @em_linds … ✨👏💃✨ The astute might also notice this isn’t London - I’m in Edinburgh for the time being, so any cool folks living north of the border, give me a shout! I’m. Back. 🤘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿)

Lockdown vibes. (All things considered, not having such a bad time of it... 🤷🏼‍♂️ Riding out the pandemic from Edinburgh, comping shots for Netflix, drinking the coffee, petting the dog, soaking up the sunshine... 🌈)

Dry the rain…
(…Hi. Yes, I’m still alive. It’s been a long, odd winter of life, love, self-isolation and Netflix. And way, wayyy too much gloom. So here’s some sunshine: a wonderful shoot with @zsanettkukucska (❤️💃🏻) from the hottest day of last summer. (Remember that day? Crazy: the black metal on my #Pentax6x7 was hot to the touch) Remember to keep chasing the rainbows people - Spring is here, whether we’ve all noticed or not. ✨🌈✨)

Winter lurking… (…mostly been tucked away geeking on a Netflix gig this month, but there’s always time for jumping around in the cold with vintage cameras. Here’s some recent analogue work, hiding out in Hackney with @alrstockwell (+ sweater) … So. Much. Fun. ✨💃👏)
