A few people have been asking me whether I use my large camera much anymore and I have to admit that I haven’t. This has been mostly because I’ve been so slow getting my darkroom plumbing sorted out but also because my trips out have been walking in the mountains, which haven’t been as conducive to finding and taking pictures and as such the weight penalty of large format gear has deterred me.

However, with the darkroom nearly complete, a colleague, Michel Lucas, mentioned that he’d bought a large format camera and I suggested I could give him a free lesson as a warm-up for some large format and film-related workshops I’m planning in the near future.

Michel was a fantastic student, and it was a good job as I think I tried to decant a decade worth of large format learning in a single day! Fortunately, we were blessed by wonderful weather, for selfies at least! Michel was also there for one of our community talks which I gave with David Unsworth on “film is not dead and self publishing” where we launched our book project on walks on Bidean nam Bian - more about that later!

Regarding Passion

It is the journey, not the destination, which is most important to the harmoniously passionate individual. Why else, for instance, would you wish to become a writer if you don't enjoy the act of dancing with words? more

Impermanence, imperfection and decay will always provide visual opportunities but are just one part of Nature’s story. more

Seasons

It can often seem like one season blurs into another. The individual distinctness of each one has, over the years, fallen away. more

Travels with a Seneca 8×10 Camera

I have a clear image of the photo that I would like to take, in which there is a well-defined foreground and in the background, there is a remarkable scenery of the beautiful and massive mountains still covered by snow. more
