Old postcards
I recently found a great set of old postcards at our local carboot. This person overlooking mountains caught my eye and a rummage through the box uncovered nine more, all signed "Niessen". I couldn't leave a matching set behind! Information about Walter Niessen has been almost

Scott prefixed his suggestion of visiting West End Flower Farm with "this place does cake". Needless to say, I had no objections to stopping by. Flowers along with a mini adventure on our bikes were a bonus! We've visited twice now; once just the two of

Life Lately is a snapshot of recent weeks. I shoot a fair few rolls of film but I'm not very good at sharing those photos anywhere, so these posts will be the perfect place for them. And it occured to me that I've always kept digital

I shot mostly black and white film at Kew Gardens (see the photos) but I'm glad I packed a colour roll too. The 61 year old Agfa Silette Pronto did a great job and even though the camera collection continues growing, it remains one of my favourites. Palm
Old postcards
Another souvenir postcard from our trip to Gothenburg earlier in the year. The illustration reminded me of Tantolunden in Stockholm; lilac lined fences and glimpses of boats on the water through gaps between cabins. Once that memory had been jogged, I couldn't leave the postcard behind. The illustration

I had complete camera indecision on the day Annie and I ventured to Kew Gardens. We decided to shoot the whole day on film, no digital cameras in sight this time. Discovering she had packed two cameras made me feel less extravagant about taking the three I'd shortlisted.
Denmark
Most of our time in Copenhagen was spent in the city so we found somewhere a little greener for our last day. After a week of wild walks in Gothenburg, the deer park was nice but it didn't give either of us a fire in our bellies. Barely

I spent a whole week hovering around the letterbox like a dog waiting for its owner to come home. And then it finally happened — the postie delivered a refurbished Lubitel 166B! Happy days. It's a crackling little medium format film camera with a mini pop up magnifier for
Life
Mischief arrived in my family when I was ten years old. Several years ago, the two of us came as a package deal during hard times, along with all my worldly possessions and a tank of tropical fish. He sat in a carrier at the back of the car and
Denmark
After spending a few days in Gothenberg, we took the train across Öresund Bridge to Copenhagen. Somewhere we last visited ten years ago! Thick cloud obscured the view of Lillgrund Wind Farm but on the plus side, we had two very comfy seats and views over Swedish countryside for most
Hiking
The hike from Bergsjön, towards Aspen lake was glorious. Fourteen miles through atmospheric forest with lake views and rugged trails. We started following unnamed trails to begin with and later joined part of the Bohusleden trail. As with all our hikes in Gothenburg, it was largely desserted at this time
Denmark
I always take two cameras on holiday — one film and one digital. This time, the Olympus Trip 35 came along for the journey along with two rolls of Dubblefilm (my first time using it). Bubblegum with pink and blue tones. Monsoon with muted green and blue. I've already
