Street
Here is a constant feed of what I’ve been involved in recently. Balls deep in life, trying to package it & share it in the form of print media. I release most of what I do in order in quasi-real-time, so keep checking back for updates. Each image represents a series, tap the image for more.

On the Nikon
I got my M4 back yesterday. Loaded it with film. Fired off a few shots. Feels amazing - rangefinder perfect, other bits sorted out. Every time I’ve ever received a repair back in my life something has been an issue, either minor or major. In this case, the frame counter doesn’t work so off back to hospital it goes. I find it weird to shoot street on other cameras for some reason - maybe I’m just in my own head about it - but from all the rolls I’ve shot since Feb only a few have been okay-ish. Not vibing. Is what it is - off to shoot some rolls in London today & am just fucking praying shot 38 isn’t required in an emergency 😭😅
I know my colours are off here. I’m having issues with one of my scanners that I’ve now overcome and the casts were silly complex. You should have seen them before 💩

London, a Saturday
Not remotely in order
Gona make a whole book just exploring what I can do with image 9
Also whilst I’m here, I ended up shooting a few bits of a Ukrainian march & of course there was a gaggle of photographers walking backwards at the front of the column. All shooting the same shots over & over again at 14fps or whatever the cool kids are shooting with these days. I don’t know why, & I feel a bit mean, but it gave me the fucking ick bro. Real turtle-willy type shit
Yeah, that’s all I got on that 😅 just had fun in the middle of it

It’s taken a fucken while to get this 4x5 SLR to where it needs to be - it’s also taken a while to get my colour print lab set up - that’s where I’ve been for the last 6 weeks - just working at Flints & then getting home & immediately working on my own projects 😅🤷🏻♂️
Thank you @jasminemariebeacham for helping me take this shot ❤️😎
I’ll be back in London this weekend to start a fresh year of street which will be good fun, also checking out more artists’ work for inspiration - never studied photography so didn’t really know any of the big ones
I’m toying around with the idea of a fully analogue workflow, where the only digital part is scanning the prints to share here. Scanners are fucken wank compared to darkroom prints. They just are - no scan can or will ever compare with the wet print - ever ever ever - the resolution, colour fidelity, overall quality makes even lab scans an absolute joke. Tbh it’s almost ruined the fun of scanning for me - when I know the wet print will be in a league of its own
Finally - two weeks ago I had a clear vision of my first interactive gallery. 2025, 4 sections/exhibits. Lots of weird gadgets & devices. Interactive. Some parts are self destructive, others will be made throughout the show 👹
