The loveliest bed in the world
But I will live nowhere except here, by Ocean, trusting equally in all the blast and welcome of her sorrowless, salt self. Lying smooth and blue, the loveliest bed in the world. Mary Oliver (Ocean).

A weekend in Wales
A few black and white photos from my trip to Wales last month. My friend Annie and I headed to an amazing 19th century lodge called Wilde Lodge, tucked away in the hills of Knighton (Pwys). Here's what we got up to… We woke up early to some

Life lately on film, October 2019
Life Lately films generally sit in my camera for weeks on end. But that's also why I get extra excited when the negatives land on the doormat — they document small events I may have already forgotten about. These photos are a mix from home, places near home, Wales

Life lately on film, September 2019
I haven't taken many photos lately but these are a few gems from my latest roll. Most of them are deliciously dark and moody. I love the turbine hall at the Tate Modern. We visited London for the day and packed so much in — test rode some VanMoof

Kew Gardens in black and white
These are the last of my recent photos from Kew (colour photos here). We circled back to the Palm House on our way out, which coincided with me loading my only roll of black and white film for the day. Yass!! A clear door shot is always a long wait.

Through the eye of the Silette
I recently dusted and sorted the camera collection and found an Agfa Silette Pronto (type 4, 1958). The most used cameras had shuffled their way to the front of the shelf and I'd forgotten all about this one. I'm fairly sure it belonged to my Grandad.

Sweden in black and white
I've shared a few photos from Sweden but these are a little different because they were captured on film. We photographed Norway on film earlier in the year and it went well so I packed my trusty film camera for Sweden. These photos were taken in Stockholm and

Norway in black and white
We set ourselves a photographic challenge in Norway — take one black and white photo each day on a disposable film camera. Digital photography provides the freedom to shoot as many photos as you like so we liked the idea of trying to capture a whole day in a single photo.
