Further adventures in fisheyeA lomography fisheye is a marvellous bit of kit. It's got a 170 degree super wide angle lens. I'd loaded it with an out of date roll of German film called Paradises 200, stuck a ringflash on the front with 4 different…
Top 10 niche groups on FlickrAs far as social networking goes, flickr is undoubtedly, my all time fave. It's defiantly the network I've spent the most time on. Like so many other flickreenos, photography is something I've been 'into', boder-line…
Feeling a little horseYes, I imagine that all of the extra public speaking the supermarket and now Ikea bosses have been doing recently over the horse meat in our food scandal has left them feeling a little horse. What gets me is - why…
Further adventures in cross processingThese photos are not edited - they are 'straight out of the camera'. I'd used slide film - Fujichrome Provia 100f and asked a lab to process it through standard C41 process chemicals. The obliged. The results are this…

100 AcquaintancesIn my last blog post, I described a project called 100 strangers, and how I've embarked on the quest to get photos of 100 strangers. I'm toying with the idea of the same kind of thing, but for 100 acquaintances. Perhaps…
Grandad Skelton's cameraI've just been given my grandad's old camera. It's a Voigtländer Vitoret with all the trimmings. A beautiful old thing. Just loaded it up with some ILFORD FP4 black and white film. My grandad apparently saved up for a…
Titus SaltToday we went to one of our fave indoor places in Yorkshire. Salts Mill, Saltaire in Shipley. Titus Salt who built the place in the middle of the 1800s was quite an amazing fella. Whilst a lot of his contemporaries were…
