It was a mild, sunny Sunday

and I took advantage of it by getting out to shoot some photos. Put a roll of Ilford FP4+ in my Hasselblad and I'm very satisfied with the results. Zürich was pretty quiet but that is never a problem.

Had a nice dinner at home on Friday evening. I hosted some photography friends and we had a great round-table discussion which went on for several hours (and would have gone for many more if the guests didn't need to get on the train).

More photos

from a Meetup group get-together a couple of weeks ago. It was a fun walk about in the city taking some shots and getting to know some people.

Today was Jacqueline's birthday- she went rock climbing, out for lunch and then out to dinner as well. Lucky for some!

It's time, it's time

and I'm back to share something else.

I have been busy shooting film, developing and scanning negatives. It is all very enjoyable and it is nice to see that the results are becoming more and more predictable and consistent. The current grey weather is perfect for black and white (although I really need to get a yellow filter) and it is fun to shoot my usual selection of stuff from the tripod.

Not a great lot else to report- feel free to let me know what you think of these photos!

It's about time

that I came back and posted another photo. Went for a walk yesterday with a friend to take some photos and really enjoyed myself. I'm pretty happy with the way in which the photos turned out and I will be keen to see how the ones which are still in the camera look as well.

There seems to be lots of flak about the whole Winter Olympics in Sochi thing- I'm very glad that I am not in a position to go. Having to decide between your sporting career and something which you feel strongly about is a lot to ask from a young person.
