I like to shoot that way.

More from my Rolleicord test shoot with Ria.

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.

Me and Sharon, Brighton Beach, 2004

I love these accidental double exposures of myself and Sharon, a friend from my art college days. We were attending a mutual friend’s wedding in Brighton and went down to the beach during one of the boring bits.

Starfish, 2004

More old stuffs.

Shot with natural light.

What I’m finding interesting as I go through this older stuff is that I had less technical know-how back then, but my vision was, if anything, clearer.

Still no new stuff worth mentioning, so here’s another old film shot from my archives.

I really deserve to own a Hasselblad you know. You should buy me one. haha..

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.

They REALLY make me miss square images.

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