Category Archives: Folder It was sunny! So I broke out the FP4+ and felt an overwhelming desire to use the 1934 Voigtlander Bessa RF rangefinder with its to-die-for f/3.5 Heliar lens and gigantic 6×9 negatives. Set the light meter to ISO100 and trotted off to Ladywell Fields where the dogs roam unmolested and unmolesting.  I’ve always been wary of skip guys and scaffolders since I was attacked by a wrench-wielding scaffolder on Effra Road in Brixton about 20 years ago. The lorry had nearly run me down driving the wrong way up a one way street and I was stupid enough to point this out. Exit pursued by lorry,...  My ongoing project-de-jour at Nunhead Cemetery.  Down under in the Leake Street tunnel, Waterloo, with Toby who is over from Down Under (Australia) for a few days. He had his Nikon D700. I had the Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta. The D700 was rarked up to ISO 1600-3200. The Super Ikonta was being metered at ISO 100. There isn’t too much available...  Fuck capatalism (sic)  We went to Nunhead Cemetery to take photos with the Zero 2000 pinhole camera.  How scary is that? I remember when I was 15 I lay in a coffin with the lid on for a dare. This feels the same way, ie not very good.  The Climate Camp 2009 on Blackheath was just getting underway when we rolled up there yesterday evening. Much of the media presence seemed to have dissipated after the initial launch didn’t result in a bloody battle a la G20. There were quite a few snappers around though, lugging kit. |
