A life long search for the holy grail, “the perfect camera bag”
GAS set in not long after buying my first SLR in 1972. The need arose for a bag, which became an obsessional desire to find the perfect camera bag. Flight, cases, Pelican cases, too many Billingham’s to remember, backpacks, slings, modified bags, I am sure someone reading this will relate…

Disclaimer: The text you will read below is based on my own thoughts and experience with my copy of the 7Artisans 35mm F0.95. The lens was bought as used but in mint condition. I’ve also bought an unbranded lens hood in aluminum, partly because it keeps the front glass element…

Honey, I’ve been seeing my Ex
“Honey, I’m sorry, but I’ve been seeing my Ex…” – Does this sound familiar to you? Well, don’t worry, we don’t mind. Before buying our first Fuji, most of us came from another camera system. Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax, Olympus, Panasonic, Samsung, Ricoh, you name it. In most cases, the…

Black Lights and the Fuji X-T1
This is quite an old project but thought it deserved to be resurrected… One of the first concepts I did when I got the X-T1 is to try out some black light photography. I’ll tell you the story first… Then I’ll get technical. This was a collaboration between myself, Omar Hassib on video, Red Broad on make and up and our model and vocalist Pimms Brooke. Omar and I are…

Warping time
Photography has been a rollercoaster journey for me. While it had a beginning, I don’t see the ending. A permanent struggle to find my identity. A true reflection of my own personality. It all started with a hitchhiking trip through Europe at the age of 20. My parents gave me…
Story Behind Photo: Sunset
Zambujeira do Mar, Portugal. The cold cuts like a knife. And the wind. So much wind that is almost suicide get too close to the edge of the cliff. We are brutally pushed and shaken. Interestingly the tripod with the machine doesn’t move. Either way, I hold the tripod, do…
