July on Half Frame (Part Four).

Stoating about the Lake District and ending up on the road back home... Still on that roll of Kodak Vision stocks that just didn't look all that good.

July on Half Frame (Part Three).

Another half frame selection, this time from a film stock I'm not enamoured with... Light leaks from the respooler (not from my camera!), muted colour...

From Edinburgh to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, to the Lake District...

July on Half Frame (Part One).

Half Frame diary of wandering days.

The graffiti in the 17th shot:
"I wish I tried harder"
"What I'd give for you to stay"

I was debating going along to this event, real life just swamping me just now, but that shot of The Slits from 1977 showed up on my Instagram yesterday morning and I was reminded that I really should... Packed a change of clothes, headed to work, will make a decision later...

A mate had a spare ticket, no one else was taking it so to hell with it, got changed, jumped on a train and ended up at the Tolbooth. Stirling is like a foreign country to me, I really don't know it well enough. The Tolbooth is quite space and facility, I genuinely thought The Tolbooth was a little pub/space... I was very wrong.

I missed Jill's talk when she was at Street Level Photoworks a couple of years back and always regretted it, so it was inspirational to hear her speaking.

First shot is Jill walking into the Tolbooth ahead of her talk, sorry, phone shots, for once I didn't pack any cameras...

Well done to all involved, the superb Stirling Photography Festival team, Street Level Photoworks, Malcolm Dickson, ex-Kelvin classmate Caitlin Jardine who was hands-on involved in the setup and documenting on the night! Tolbooth, Stirling for hosting this exhibition and talk.

Needed a reminder that I once loved being inspired by the journeys of other photographers, and maybe last night will be the much needed kick for that coming back... ❤️

Summer on Half Frame.

Another selection of random moments from one of my many half frame rolls I've shot over the last few months.

Canon Multi Tele, Kodak Ultramax 400 (I think, I need to pick up the negs from Gulabi!)

Side Note: I still find it amazing some of my 'Soul Graffiti' stickers from earlier in the year have survived where they were placed!

Summer on Half Frame.

Summer is colour (I've been shooting lots more colour film) and snapshots.

Some more random moments from my wanders, all shot with one of my Canon Multi Tele.

Also, forgot how much I love Ultramax.

No Party.

Little mementos from Scotland's (short) World Cup run on half frame...

Thanks to Gulabi for scanning this roll twice to sort a problem. I know they've got enough of a backlog without having to scan my half frame snapshots twice over!

More Sprockets in the Pocket.

A few more from that test I did with running 35mm film through my Mamiya m645 Super last month. Not super exciting shots, but I'll undoubtedly give this another go sometime and see if I can iron out the technical issues that happened during this experiment.

Big thanks to Eduard-abi atelier333 for scanning these for me.

Camera - Mamiya m645 Super
Film - Kentmere Pan 400
Developed - Adox FX-39 II

Autumn is Coming.

"When summer's high japes
Fold into the growing nights
The lillies in full bloom as
I sense the dimming light

The air still warm but changing
Preparing for the shift in gear
The grey might be gathering
For my chosen love is arriving

This is my hometown
I was born in autumn
I may lay down there too
Before the winter sets into my bones

This is my home
The final burst of colour
Before I lose all sense to grey
Left to wait, and wait, and wait."
