Falls of Dochart, near Killin

One from last year when the family went spent a bit of time in Aberfeldy. We drove to Killin to see the falls. It was quite extraordinary.

The "Room with a View" series is something that I've been working on for a while now, especially during my illness in the last year, but it will be coming to a definite end shortly. We're moving and that means the view goes too. I'll be collating my best of the best during the next month to release as a gallery on my website. I hope you've enjoyed it and maybe there will be a few gems still to come before we leave.

The first test shot on the streets of Edinburgh with the Anniversary Speed Graphic large format camera. It was also the first try with the green filter to control the contrast you get with photographic paper - it works a treat. Let the fun begin!

Usually I try to preserve things as best I can out of historical interest. I bought this camera for $70, and it was a hot mess, leather cracked and falling off, metal parts badly oxidized. I said screw it, and stripped the leather, diluted the old horse glue, and refinished the wood, which as it turns out is Honduran Mahogany IIRC.

The result was, what I believe to be a pretty beautiful camera. I do, however, urge you to not do the same to a camera that is in good condition. If you want to modify or customize a Graflex, please find one that is in rough enough shape that it is very difficult to restore.

Another example of a stripped down Anniversary Speed Graphic - this camera is quite beautiful.

Even though I am not a fan of football, the end of season routine is one that fascinates me. Within days of the final match, the diggers move in and lift the turf from the pitch before the soil is reseeded. Over the next few weeks we see the brown pitch turn a luminous green and then lawnmowers are out in time for the first game.

Dear followers

I am writing to inform you of the tragic passing of my father Andy, better known as Filmus Monochromus. His death was due to cancer and was quick and peaceful.

I thank you all for the love and support you have shown my father through the years and i hope to still continue the uploads, not daily but at least frequent.

This is incredibly sad news. Andy was a stand out character in the film photography Tumblr community.

If you follow me on Instagram then you’ll know that I’m in the process of fixing and customising an Anniversary Speed Graphic that I bought from eBay.

Originally I wanted to simply make my own bellows and then start using it. As time went on though, I realised that creating your own bellows is trickier than I had appreciated so I’ve now outsourced it to a guy in Belgium who is a pro at this kind of thing.

I didn’t stop there though, while the bellows were away, I started to break down the camera into it’s individual components to clean up and create the look I want for this camera.

I’m having a lot of fun with this project and you can follow me on Instagram to keep up with it.

If there is an image that needed sharing on Tumblr it was this one. Logan, or 6cmzumquadrat as he is on here, was someone I got to know in the Tumblr community a few year ago. He lives in Oregan, USA so when I heard he was visiting Edinburgh on holiday I couldn’t turn down meeting up. We met in the city centre where we had a good chat, shot some film, and exchanged portraits. Meeting like this sums up what the film photography community is (or certainly was) like on Tumblr.

You can check out Logan’s trip here.

Admittedly, this meeting took place two years ago but this roll of film has just found it’s way to the lab.

This has to be one of my favourite places on this earth! It brings such good memories like the time my wife and I visited in December 2006 and were the only ones there. It was a time that would have been perfect to propose to your, then, girlfriend - if the ring had arrived at the jewellers. We were engaged two weeks later.
