I wonder...
... how many people who are currently bleating about their photographs being misappropriated from flickr are/were quite happy downloading music without paying for it?
Just asking.

Accepting Commissions...
If anyone would like to have me work on a particular photographic assignment, please let me know via the Contact Form. So far, I have carried out a single assignment for a friend (portraits of their pet greyhound) which has been very well received (there's no point in spouting a load of BS at this point, I'd only get found out).
Since my experience is low, so the prices are too - I'm pretty much doing this to build a portfolio. Heck, if the assignment is interesting enough I may even do it for nothing... or at least just for expenses.

Suspicious behaviour...?
As I was travelling home from my Grandad's funeral yesterday, I had to change trains at Stevenage. Now, being past 5 o'clock, the coffee-shop etc. was closed, so I had 15-20 minutes to kill on the platform.

I recently got another camera off of ebay. It's another Polaroid camera, but this time rather retro. It's an Automatic 100, produced between 1963 and 1966 taking 3.25x4.25 inch instant pictures using '100 series' pack film (which Fuji still make, even though Polaroid themselves couldn't continue).
Thanks go out to Option8 for his website describing how to refurbish the camera.

World Pinhole Day
Don't forget World Pinhole Photography day on Sunday - if you don't have a pinhole camera, then why not make one:

tilt/shift goodness
Well, I finally got out for twenty minutes the other night and took some pictures with my large format camera. Firstly, the Manfrotto tripod is lovely and stable - so that's good. I ended up taking two pictures basically - each shot twice, firstly on Instant film (Fuji FP100C in a Polaroid 405 back) and then on Fomapan 100 sheet film.
First 'Polaroid' was a bit marred by the fact I didn't develop it for long enough - it was rather colder than the film likes.

Back in the saddle...
Phew. Last night I loaded up half-a-dozen film holders and (weather permitting) I will get out this evening to use the large format camera again.
I haven't used it 'in anger' for over a month now, what with travelling for work (no more of that at least) and other things. The tripod kit (Manfrotto 055XProB and 808RC4) I got at the end of February has not really been used at all.

Act Now
It's getting closer... photography will soon be a de-facto illegal act: in this account of police (Ok, PCSO) intimidation coupled with ignorance of the law. Get your MP to sign up to EDM 1155 before you discover that you have no rights at all.
