Steam at Kensal Rise
Yesterday I had an errand to run at Kentish Town so I took the opportunity to coincide my journey with the passing through of Kensal Rise station by the Cathedrals Express steam engine…

My Zenit and I
In 1996 I started my A-level Photography course and for that I needed an SLR camera. My step-granddad came up trumps and gave me his 1982 model Zenit TTL, a heavy Soviet beast of a camera. The only lens that came with it was a 58mm Helios 44M, and with that I was able to complete the […]

Last weekend was pretty busy, as we continued production of the Guy’s Guys web series and filmed four and a half more episodes. Managed to get lots of London goodness in this time, getting footage at Pride, as well as doing a scene on the South Bank, and another on the Tube. Editing for these […]

I’ve recently been running a second roll of film through the Olympus OM10 I was given a couple of months ago, with a view to writing up about it a bit. Sadly, it looks like there’s some sort of light leak, with many of the shots showing a couple of different artefacts, as you can […]

I’ve had my Kodak Brownie Flash B for years and years. My mum picked it up from a car boot sale in the 90s, and it’s followed me around all my house moves, stored quietly away doing nothing. Until now! Well, until February actually, when I finally respooled some 120 film onto a 620 spool […]

So, in the first of my occasional classic camera reviews, I’m going to be looking at the Olympus Trip 35, which I picked up from ebay for about twenty quid just over a year ago. It’s a 35mm camera that had a pretty long production run, from 1967 to 1984, and as the name implies, […]

One of my ongoing projects has been preserving/remastering/restoring the films that I made with friends in the 1990s, under the banner of Silver Screen Productions (SSP). They were mostly put together in a very primitive way, linearly edited by recording from Video8/Hi8 camcorder tape to a VHS machine, sometimes with an Amiga computer attached via […]

Last Sunday I spent the entire day filming four pilot episodes of a comedy web series I’m helping to produce called Guy’s Guys. Kes Baxter is producing and starring, and it’s based on a Dutch series called Meisjes van Thijs (Thijs and the Ladies), which follows the main character’s unfortunate love life – each episode featuring a […]

So at the end of my second week on sabbatical, I’m feeling a lot better than a week ago. The cold is just about gone and I’ve joined the Bannatyne gym in Kilburn, and been three times already. Aiming for four times a week, and there’s a pool there so going to attempt the occasional […]

So, last Thursday was my last day in work until mid October! Hurrah! I would be even more excited about it if I hadn’t been cursed with a horrible cold which came on within hours of me leaving the office. I’ve been hankering for a proper break from work for a couple of years now. […]
