A bunch of photosFilm is ace. You drop it off, you wait a bit and then the joy of opening the results for the first time are way better than seeing the results instantly on a digital back. Mostly. As well as that, the results are often…
Annie-Mo is 4The littlest of the little people in or house is 4. So that's 4 years to the day since I delivered her in our hallway and hit the local headlines as a result. A wonderful 4 years. She's such a precious wee thing. Here…
National Ace CentreWe did London last week. Our first trip away from the boys - they stayed at home whilst the girls and I (sans Elsie dog) went to London. I'll have more on that via the medium of film photography with a bit of luck. In…
- My LOMO LC-A works again
So, in my last post I waxed lyrical about how I'd got my LOMO LCA fixed. I'd missed it. I've just run a film through it and I'm quite pleased with the results. Mostly photos form around Leeds, some of Harrogate. Here's…
Roger Lean does it again.I'm lucky to own a LOMO LCA. The optics, the size, the cult status chic, the history but most importantly, the results are all things that I love. A few years ago my beloved LOMO LCA camera malfunctioned. I'd heard…

I'm in San Fran againHere's a superb view from the 24th floor of The Fairmont hotel which I got to soak up at a works Christmas party on Friday night. I've been over here since around Wednesday. I've been on a pretty intense journey of…

- Felix is 18
The above is a picture of Felix on the morning of his 18th. That’s this morning. I know! Who’d have thunk I’d have created such an amazing creature (with a bit of help from Eirene obvs.). We’re so proud of him. When he…

M'colleague's husband plays bass trombone in the Hade Edge Brass Band . They were playing today in the Band Stand, Wetherby. We wandered along on the wind of wondering if the 'come along' suggestion would come good. It…
