Horse

A horse, Cornwall, 2010

I went up to the moors yesterday and checked in with the horses that roam about up there.

They told me to say ‘hi’.

Or something like it.

I wonder if I’ll like this tomorrow. I do get so in the zone with my Photoshoppery, it’s hard to tell.

I like it now, however.

Into The Sun

I like to shoot that way.

More from my Rolleicord test shoot with Ria.

Who doesn’t like chocolate?

My personal favourite is the Lion Bar.

It’s Hip

Ria, Plymouth, 2010

To be square. I dug out my Rolleicord, and gave it a whirl on a test shoot with Ria.

Interesting results, I like them.

The experience has made me want a better film camera, however. One more suited to this type of photography at least.

Nostalgia

Hurlers, Cornwall, 2004

As I haven’t taken pictures of anybody for what seems like an age, I’ve been mooching through some of my really old stuff.

I really like some of this. It’s made me realise that I really wasn’t that bad a photographer back then. I think I may have been ‘rehearsing’ at the time and really wanted to include people in these shots, but they’re pretty strong as they are.

They make me miss film, and in particular infrared film.

They make me miss the slow process that was involved, and that shows in the results, particularly the compositions.

Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, 2004

They REALLY make me miss square images.

Ho-hum.. perhaps I’ll get some nice prints of these made up.

You Saw Me Standing Alone

Lara, Sidmouth, 2008

Happy New Year everyone.

I read that it is a blue moon this NYE. For some reason I think that there should be some superstition surrounding this convergence of events — particularly as this is the end of a decade as well.

I can’t find anything, but as such superstitions have no basis in fact, let’s make one up. How about… ‘a blue moon on NYE ushers in a decade of inner peace and prosperity’ ?

I’d settle for that.

Oh and perhaps something about getting rich and moving to California to live by the Pacific Ocean with a beautiful wife.

Finnish

Ria, Plymouth, 2009

Do they wear things like this hat in Finland? I don’t know, but for some reason I think these shots of Ria have a very Finnish quality about them.

I don’t even know what I mean by that, haha.

Feel free to explain my mind to me.
