From a weekend pouring collodion with Quinn Jacobson. We had an amazing weekend, and have become great friends. Inspirational experience, and I now know the direction of my photography…I will be selling 90% of my 35mm gear over the next 6 months.

Crazy flare shooting in to the sun…interesting effect caused by the use of a filter on the Ricohflex. Made while in France on a camping holiday.

Been a while I know. Been so busy withe the Brussels Accessible Art Fair, traveling on business and generally trying to keep up that I have neglected this place…forgive me! Been following for sure though..as usual, inspiring work.

Decided to play with my SL66 for portraiture on my last but one trip to Shanghai….

Sometimes I wonder when I will ever get around to going through them all. These are some scanned a long time ago but never posted. The “Drive By Shooting” one is kind of got me thinking of a series…

Sorry to be slow on the comments on the amazing pics…will try and find time this weekend
