I spent some time photographing my wife’s water bottle today, you do that sort of thing when you are doing a daily project and it has rained consistently all day, but in the end, this rather simpler shot pleased me more. I’m a big fan of photo books, although the
We’ve had a bit of a rat issue in the garden over the last year. We have a completely walled garden and we have lived here for over 20 years, but only recently have rats been visiting, we think because the neighbour has logs piled up against the wall they
This is my Zeiss Ikon Nettar camera that I used last Saturday. It shoots 12 x 6 x 6 images per roll of 120 film. This particular camera has a Novar Anastigmat 4.5/75 lens and a Pronto shutter and was manufactured between Jul 52 and Feb 59, so is older than

We have a lot of birds visit our garden these days and I periodically photograph them, but very rarely do I photograph the pigeons that come along, so I did that today. The Gas man came round to fix the boiler and was very dismissive of the “Flying Rats” as
