Fotomentalist


This photo lark all seems to be getting rapidly out of hand. Last night I spent the best part of six hours scanning and uploading five rolls of film. Fun though it all is, I never envisaged it being so addictive and time consuming!

Since my last post I have accidentally purchased another two cameras, and finally got around to resurrecting my Mum's old Fed-4 rangefinder. All of these new cameras have to then be tested with rolls of film. I also somehow managed to find time to shoot another two rolls of film on my wonderful Zeiss Ikon Ikoflex.


I have managed to reach a point where I almost know what I'm doing with the various cameras, as well as learning their different foibles and characteristics. I'm no expert by any means, but I've managed to educate myself after a fashion. There's still a massive amount of luck involved, and I still only like a tiny percentage of the shots I take, but it's getting better each roll.


All the latest uploads from my mammoth scanning session are on my Flickr site...
